• Remove skillet from the oven and place chicken on a serving platter. Drizzle chicken with pan juices and garnish with parsley.

• I sometimes make this, and seal it in a ziplock bag in the freezer, then when you are ready, thaw, dump in the roaster and bake- just adding the lemon pepper salt.
• My family likes this when I take the sauce from the chicken, combine it with a small amount of half and half and serve it over pasta.

• Combine salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika together in a small bowl and set aside.
• Place chicken thighs, skin side down, on a cutting board and carefully remove bone and any excess fat and flaps of skin. Sprinkle seasoning over both sides of chicken, rubbing some under the skin. Tuck in sides of chicken thighs back into original thigh shape. Place chicken into 1 large or 2 small vacuum bags. Seal using a vacuum sealer.
• Place bags into the water and set timer for 1 1/2 hours. When timer is up, remove chicken from bag and pat dry completely with paper towels.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over high heat and sear chicken, skin side down, until nicely browned, about 1 minute. Move chicken around the skillet using tongs, holding the chicken up against the side of the skillet to get an even brown color on all edges. Remove from heat and let sit for 2 to 3 minutes before serving.

PAN-ROASTED CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Heat the olive oil in an ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle the chicken thighs with salt and pepper, then dredge both sides in flour. Add them, skin side down, to the pan and cook them, shaking and moving them around the pan, until the skin is golden, about 3 to 4 minutes. Turn them to the other side and cook for another couple of minutes, then remove them to a plate. If there is excess grease, pour off all but about 1/4 cup. Add the onions and garlic to the pan and stir to cook, about 3 minutes. Pour in the wine, then stir and let it reduce for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the broth, along with half the lemon zest. Cut the lemon in half and squeeze in the juice. Sprinkle in a little salt and pepper, and let it cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring continually. Nestle the chicken thighs back into the pan, skin side up. (They should not be submerged; the liquid should come up about halfway up the sides of the chicken.) Place the lid on the skillet (if you're using an iron skillet without a lid, you can invert a second skillet on top) and place it in the oven. Let it cook in the oven for 15 minutes. Remove the lid, then spoon the sauce onto each chicken thigh. Continue cooking in the oven with the lid off for 15 minutes, making sure it doesn't get too brown.Stir the rest of the lemon zest with a little salt into the cooked rice. Serve the chicken with the rice, spooning sauce over the top.
