Steps

Pat the chicken thighs dry and season well with salt and pepper.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and place the thighs skin-side down.
Cook undisturbed for 7-8 minutes until the skin is deep golden and crisp, then flip.
Reduce heat to medium and cook another 12-15 minutes until cooked through (74°C / 165°F).
Remove the chicken, then melt the butter in the same pan with garlic and thyme for 1 minute.
Stir in the lemon juice, spoon the sauce over the chicken, and serve.
