Skillet Honey-Lemon Chicken Thighs with Potatoes

Ingredients

Ingredient Checklist

  • Directions

    • Preheat oven to 425°F. Juice 1 lemon to yield 1/4 cup juice. Slice the remaining lemon into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Set aside.

    • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle chicken evenly with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add the chicken, smooth-side down, to the pan; cook, undisturbed, until golden brown on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook until lightly browned on the other side, about 2 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate.

    • Add the lemon slices to the drippings in the pan; cook over medium-high heat, undisturbed, until charred on the bottom, about 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat. Add potatoes, shallots, thyme, oregano, rosemary and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt to the pan, stirring to coat. Nestle the chicken into the mixture in the pan. Bake for 15 minutes.

    • Meanwhile, whisk the reserved 1/4 cup lemon juice, honey, pepper and the remaining 1/4 cup oil in a small bowl.

    • Drizzle the lemon juice mixture all over the chicken-vegetable mixture. Bake until the potatoes are tender and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest portion of chicken registers 165°F, 5 to 7 minutes. Spoon the pan drippings over the chicken and vegetables before serving
