POULTRY & CHOPS

Method

POULTRY & CHOPS

1

Prep and marinate

Pat the chicken thighs dry. In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, lemon zest, and thyme. Toss the chicken thighs in the spice oil until well coated; let rest 15 minutes to marinate.

2

Preheat and sear

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. If needed, add a light coating of olive oil. Sear the chicken thighs, skin-side down, until browned and crispy, about 4-5 minutes.

3

Roast

Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), about 15-20 minutes depending on thickness.

4

Finish with butter

Carefully remove from oven. Add butter to the pan and tilt to baste the chicken, letting the melted butter mix with pan juices for 1-2 minutes to deepen flavor.

5

Brighten and serve

Squeeze lemon juice over the chicken and scatter extra thyme leaves. Let rest 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
