Ingredients

Scale

    • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or breasts

    • 2 tbsp olive oil

    • 3 sprigs fresh rosemary, finely chopped

    • 3 garlic cloves, minced

    • 1 lemon, zest and juice

    • 1 tsp sea salt

    • ½ tsp black pepper


Instructions

Step 1: Marinate the Chicken

    • In a bowl, mix olive oil, chopped rosemary, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.

    • Rub the marinade all over the chicken and let it sit for at least 15 minutes (or overnight for deeper flavor).

Step 2: Preheat and Prepare the Pan

    • Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).

    • Heat a large oven-safe pan over medium-high heat.

Step 3: Sear the Chicken

    • Place the chicken skin-side down in the pan and sear for 3-4 minutes until golden brown.

    • Flip the chicken and sear for another 2 minutes.

Step 4: Roast the Chicken

    • Transfer the pan to the oven and roast for 20-25 minutes until fully cooked.

    • Check for doneness by ensuring the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F).

Step 5: Rest and Serve

    • Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
