Time 1h20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 cloves garlic, crushed
2 teaspoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground thyme
1 teaspoon crushed dried rosemary
½ teaspoon ground Jamaican allspice
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup chicken stock
2 lemons

Steps:

  • Mix garlic, brown sugar, thyme, rosemary, allspice, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Pat chicken dry and rub with the spice mixture. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken thighs, skin-side down, and cook until crisp, about 4 minutes. Flip. Pour chicken stock around the thighs. Squeeze juice of 1 lemon into the skillet. Slice the second lemon and arrange over the thighs.
  • Cover and simmer until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Discard lemon slices and serve.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some cooked chicken in my fridge and I just shredded it and added it to the sauce.

This recipe is a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had added some more spices.

I'm allergic to lemons, so I used lime juice instead. It was still really good!

This dish was a bit too sour for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had used less lemon juice.
