Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups chicken stock
• 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons lemon zest
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• For the lemon rub
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. To make the lemon rub, combine olive oil, mustard, lemon zest, oregano, thyme and salt in a small bowl. Using your fingers or a brush, work the lemon rub onto both sides of the chicken.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together chicken stock, lemon juice and lemon zest; set aside.
4. Heat olive oil 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. Add chicken stock mixture.
5. Place into oven and roast until completely cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 175 degrees F, about 25-30 minutes.
6. Serve immediately.
