Ingredients

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

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.
