Ingredients
For the Chicken:
- 2–3 chicken thighs, boneless, skin-on, room temperature
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
For the Lemon Garlic Marinade:
- ½ lemon, cut into ¼” slices
- 1 clove garlic, grated
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2–3 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
For the Garnish:
- Lemon juice
Directions
- Season chicken with salt and pepper. Place in a sealed bag along with the ingredients for Lemon Garlic Marinade and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. Remove from the bag and pat dry.
- Preheat the pot over medium heat for about 2 minutes. Add olive oil and spread it evenly. Once the oil starts to smoke, place the chicken skin-side down and lay rosemary and lemon on top. Sear over medium heat for about 1 minute.
- Cover and steam-roast over low heat for 5 minutes, then uncover and continue searing for another 5 minutes or until golden brown. Use paper towels to absorb any excess fat.
- Once the skin is browned, flip the chicken thighs and turn off the heat. Let them rest, uncovered, for 5 minutes in the residual heat.
- Slice the chicken into bite-sized pieces and arrange them on a plate. Drizzle the drippings over the chicken, squeeze lemon on top, and serve.
