Gather @chicken thigh{800%g}, @chicken stock{200%ml}, @olive oil{1%tbsp}, @dried thyme{1%tsp} and @black pepper{}.

Pat the chicken thighs dry and season both sides well with @salt{}, pepper and thyme.

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high and lay the thighs in skin-side down. Cook undisturbed until deeply golden and mostly cooked through, about 8 minutes. ~{8%minutes}

Flip and cook the second side 5 minutes, then transfer the thighs to a plate.

Add the @garlic{4%clove} to the fat left in the pan and stir 30 seconds until fragrant, then pour in the stock and @lemon{2} juice, scraping up the browned bits.

Simmer the sauce 3–4 minutes until slightly reduced, then swirl in the @butter{30%g} and lemon slices. ~{210%seconds}

Return the chicken to the pan skin-side up, spoon the sauce over, and warm through for 2 minutes before serving.
