- 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice (from about 1 large lemon)
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 6 sprigs fresh thyme

Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken thighs skin-side down and sear undisturbed for 7–8 minutes, until the skin is deep golden brown and releases easily from the pan.
