Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels.
Generously season chicken thighs with flaky sea salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken thighs skin-side down for 6–8 minutes.
Flip chicken thighs to skin-side up and add smashed garlic, fresh rosemary, and lemon slices around them.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for 20–25 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove from the oven, transfer chicken to a platter along with garlic, rosemary, and lemon slices.
Deglaze the pan with white wine or chicken broth, simmering for 2–3 minutes to thicken.
Serve the chicken topped with the pan sauce and let rest for 5 minutes before enjoying.
