→ Core Ingredients
06 -
6 bone-in chicken thighs, dried off with a towel
07 -
3 tbsp of ghee or clarified butter
08 -
A ¼ cup of finely chopped fresh garlic
09 -
½ cup of dry white wine
# Instructions:
01 -
Use a heavy pan and heat it on high. Melt some clarified butter until it’s fully liquid and glistening.
02 -
Use a paper towel to dry the chicken completely. Sprinkle it generously with salt and pepper on every side.
03 -
Put the chicken thighs in the hot pan. Let them get golden and crisp for 3-4 minutes on each side. Once done, lower the heat to medium.
04 -
Stir in the chopped garlic, so it doesn’t burn. Sprinkle lemon zest right over the chicken pieces.
05 -
When the garlic becomes soft and smells amazing (but doesn’t burn), add in the oregano, lemon rounds, and white wine. Keep cooking until the sauce reduces and thickens and the chicken is fully cooked at 165°F.
06 -
Take the chicken out of the pan. Pour the sauce over it and serve it with grilled veggies. You can also use it for wraps, tacos, salad, or meal prep.
