Pat dry and prepare
Pat the squabs dry inside and out with paper towels. If any giblets remain, remove them. Place squabs on a rack or plate to dry further.

Make marinade and season
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Rub the mixture all over the two squabs, including under the skin where possible. Let sit 20-30 minutes at room temperature to bloom flavors.

Preheat, sear, and baste
Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Heat a heavy, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the squabs breast-side down until the skin is crisp and golden, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and sear the other side another 2 minutes, brushing with some of the marinade as you go.
