Number of Servings: 8

Ingredients

    8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
    1 cup chicken stock
    Juice of 1 lemon
    2 teaspoons lemon zest
    2 tablespoons unsalted butter
    For the parmesan crust:
    1/4 cup olive oil
    4 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan
    1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
    1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
    1 teaspoon garlic powder
    1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Tips

Use either a well-seasoned cast iron pan, dutch oven or something that is, or you can make, non-stick so chicken doesn't stick while searing!


Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

To make the parmesan crust, combine olive oil, Parmesan, thyme, oregano and garlic powder in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Using your fingers or a brush, work the parmesan crust onto both sides of the chicken.

In a large bowl, whisk together chicken stock, lemon juice and lemon zest; set aside.

Melt butter in a large, oven proof, skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken, skin-side down, and sear both sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Add chicken stock mixture.

Place into oven and roast until completely cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 175 degrees F, about 25-30 minutes. Then broil for 2-3 minutes, or until crisp and golden brown. Serve immediately.

    I would rate this a keeper. /usually take skin off but the crispy skin was a treat. Did not have to broil as was crispy from baking. Good flavor and chicken was moist. Hope all the values were correct as it is low sodium as lister - 5/13/20
