📝 Ingredients:
- 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary

👩🍳 Instructions:
- Prepare the Chicken:
Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, and rosemary. - Sear:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place chicken thighs skin-side down and sear for 5–7 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy. Flip and cook the other side for 5 minutes. - Make Lemon Butter Sauce:
Reduce heat to medium. Add butter and minced garlic to the pan. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add lemon juice and zest, stirring gently to combine. - Simmer:
Spoon some of the sauce over the chicken. Cover the skillet and let the chicken simmer for another 10 minutes or until cooked through (internal temp should be 75°C / 165°F). - Serve:
Garnish with fresh parsley. Serve hot with your favorite side dish.
🍋 Serving Tip:
Pair with buttery mashed potatoes or lemon rice for a complete meal. You can also drizzle extra sauce over steamed vegetables for a burst of flavor!
