Learn how to make The Woolworth’s pan-roasted airline chicken with crispy skin, fresh herbs, and a savory pan sauce.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat the airline chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts skin-side down and sear for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Flip the chicken and sear the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes.
Add minced garlic and fresh thyme to the skillet. Stir for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your pan-roasted airline chicken!
