Pan-Roasted Chicken Thighs
- 6 whole Bone-In, Skin-On Chicken Thighs
- Salt And Pepper, to taste
- 1 cup All-purpose Flour
- 6 Tablespoons Olive Oil (more, If Needed)
- 1 whole Medium Onion, Finely Diced
- 5 cloves Garlic, Minced
- 1/2 cups White Wine
- 1 cup Chicken Broth
- 1 whole Large Lemon, Zested
- Cooked Rice, For Serving
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Heat the olive oil in an ovenproof skillet over medium heat.
- Sprinkle the chicken thighs with salt and pepper, then dredge both sides in flour.
- Add them, skin side down, to the pan and cook them, shaking and moving them around the pan, until the skin is golden, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Turn them to the other side and cook for another couple of minutes, then remove them to a plate.
- If there is excess grease, pour off all but about 1/4 cup.
- Add the onions and garlic to the pan and stir to cook, about 3 minutes.
- Pour in the wine, then stir and let it reduce for 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add the broth, along with half the lemon zest.
- Cut the lemon in half and squeeze in the juice.
- Sprinkle in a little salt and pepper, and let it cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring continually.
- Nestle the chicken thighs back into the pan, skin side up.
- (They should not be submerged; the liquid should come up about halfway up the sides of the chicken.)
- Place the lid on the skillet (if youre using an iron skillet without a lid, you can invert a second skillet on top) and place it in the oven.
- Let it cook in the oven for 15 minutes.
- Remove the lid, then spoon the sauce onto each chicken thigh.
- Continue cooking in the oven with the lid off for 15 minutes, making sure it doesnt get too brown.
- Stir the rest of the lemon zest with a little salt into the cooked rice.
- Serve the chicken with the rice, spooning sauce over the top.
