1. To make the Baked Chicken Thighs Recipe: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a medium-sized shallow bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil together with lemon juice, pepper, salt, minced garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, red chili flakes, paprika, chicken broth, and Italian seasoning. Add the chicken thighs to the marinade and toss to evenly coat. Cover and refrigerate thighs for 15 minutes minimum.

2. Heat one tablespoon of oil and 1/2 tablespoon butter in an oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat (we like cast iron). Add in the chicken thighs along with any marinade leftover in the bowl, and sear chicken for 4 minutes on each side until crispy and golden–the chicken thighs will not be fully cooked.

3. Transfer the skillet with the seared chicken thighs to the preheated oven and roast until the chicken is cooked through–about 15-20 minutes depending on the size of the chicken thighs. Chicken must reach an internal temperature of 165ºF (74ºC).

4. Once chicken thighs are cooked, remove them from the oven and garnish them with fresh parsley and lemon wedges. Serve the lemon garlic baked chicken thighs over steamed rice or cauliflower rice, and don’t forget to drizzle with the pan juices. Enjoy!
