Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F.
  2. In a large 12" cast iron skillet, heat oil over high heat.
  3. Generously season chicken with salt & pepper. Place skin side down in the skillet. Cook 2 minutes and reduce heat to medium-high.
  4. Chop rosemary needles and sprinkle over chicken. Add lemon slices between thighs. Continue cooking on medium-high for 10 minutes.
  5. Place skillet into the preheated oven and cook an additional 12 minutes. Flip chicken over, skin side up and return to the oven for 5 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
  6. Remove from oven, spoon juices over top and rest 5 minutes. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer to check the thickest part of the thigh (away from the bone). It should read 165°F, but you can remove the chicken at 162°F since it will keep cooking as it rests.
  • Store leftover skillet chicken thighs in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 4 months.
