Juicy and flavorful garlic herb chicken thighs that are easy to prepare, perfect for weeknight dinners or entertaining guests.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 2 pounds)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced (or 1 tsp garlic powder)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp butter (optional)
  • 1 tsp dried thyme or 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary, crushed or 1 tbsp fresh chopped rosemary
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth or white wine
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice (optional)
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Pat the chicken thighs dry. Season both sides with salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add chicken skin-side down. Cook 6–8 minutes until the skin is brown and crisp.
  3. Flip the thighs and cook another 5–7 minutes until mostly cooked through. Remove thighs to a plate.
  4. Lower heat to medium. Add a little butter or oil to the pan. Add minced garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth or wine and scrape up browned bits from the pan. Let the sauce simmer 2–3 minutes to reduce a bit.
  6. Return the chicken to the pan and spoon sauce over each thigh. Cook 2–3 more minutes until the internal temp reaches 165°F (74°C).
  7. Finish with lemon juice and fresh parsley. Serve hot.

Notes

For lower fat, use boneless, skinless thighs and reduce oil. For gluten-free, ensure broth is labeled as such. For dairy-free, skip the butter and use extra olive oil.
