Be sure to use a large enough pan so that the thighs don’t touch. This is key to browning instead of steaming.
Another key to perfect searing is preheating the oil in the pan. It needs to be hot. Also, make sure the oil coats the entire surface of the pan, 2-3 tablespoons is usually enough.
Place the chicken thighs with the skin side down and don’t touch it or move it for at least 5 minutes, its ready to flip when it easily releases on its own. It will lift easily off the pan with no sticking.
In a large, ovenproof pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and brown for 3 to 5 minutes on each side.
Remove the browned thighs, set aside. Drain any excess fat from the pan leaving about a tablespoon of the fat. Add The garlic and cook another minute.
Add the wine. Raise the heat to high, bring to boil, scraping the bottom of the skillet to mix the brown bits into the liquid. Cook to reduce.
Add chicken stock. Return chicken to the pan, skin side up. Bake for 35 minutes (or until an instant-read thermometer is about 165 degrees Fahrenheit), the chicken should be very tender.
Remove the chicken and set aside. Mix in the lemon juice. Taste for seasoning and season to taste, put the chicken back in the sauce, and serve hot.
