Tender, juicy pan roasted chicken thighs smothered with savory herbs make for a delicious main course that is incredibly flavorful. And so easy to make!
Trim any excess fat off of the chicken thighs, leaving the skin in tact.
Pour olive oil and seasoning into a baking dish and whisk together. Dredge chicken through the herb mixture until each piece is well coated. Rub the coating in a little and get it under the skin.
Heat a 12 inch oven safe skillet with a little olive oil over medium-high heat. Place chicken in the skillet, skin side down, to sear; about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from heat and add chicken stock. Slide into a preheated 400 degree oven.
Cook chicken for about 25 minutes or until an internal thermometer reads 175 degrees.
Serve immediately.
Notes
Sear bone-in breasts, skin side down, for 6-8 minutes or until skin is crispy. Flip and slide into the oven for about 10-15 minutes or until a meat thermometer register 165 degrees.
For bone-in drumsticks, follow the same directions as the thighs.
For boneless meat, I recommend using either my stove-top chicken breast method, or my easy method for juicy baked chicken breasts.
