For the chicken

- 1 tsp fine sea salt
- ½ tsp ground turmeric
- ¼ tsp ground ginger
- 3 tbsp olive oil, divided
For the sauce
- 6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- ½ cup chicken bone broth
- ⅓ cup fresh lemon juice (from about 2 lemons)

- 2 tsp dried oregano

Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Pat the chicken thighs and drumsticks completely dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine the salt, turmeric, and ginger, then rub the mixture evenly over all sides of the chicken pieces.

Heat 2 tbsp of the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken pieces skin-side down in a single layer — work in batches if needed to avoid crowding — and sear undisturbed for 5 to 6 minutes, until the skin is deep golden and releases easily from the pan. Flip and sear the second side for 3 minutes, then transfer the chicken to a plate.
