   Start by generously seasoning both sides of your chicken thighs with a delightful blend of Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

2. Step 2

   This simple step infuses the meat with flavor right from the start.

3. Step 3

   In a large measuring cup, mix together the chicken broth, honey, white wine, chopped garlic, and fresh lemon juice.

4. Step 4

   This combination will create a deliciously tangy and sweet sauce that complements the chicken perfectly.

5. Step 5

   Preheat your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C) to get it ready for the magic to happen.

6. Step 6

   Next, heat some olive oil in a large cast iron skillet over high heat.

7. Step 7

   Once the oil is shimmering and hot, carefully place the chicken thighs skin-side down in the skillet.

   Sear them for about 4 minutes, or until they turn a beautiful golden brown.

9. Step 9

   This step not only adds color but also locks in those juicy flavors.

10. Step 10

    After searing, gently flip the chicken thighs over and pour the flavorful broth mixture over them, letting it envelop the chicken in its goodness.

11. Step 11

    Now, cover the skillet with a lid and transfer it to your preheated oven.

12. Step 12

    Let it bake for 10 minutes, allowing the chicken to soak up all those wonderful flavors.

    After the first 10 minutes, remove the lid and continue baking until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink at the bone, which should take about another 10 minutes.

    To ensure it’s perfectly done, check that an instant-read thermometer reads 165°F (74°C) when inserted near the bone.

    Once the chicken is ready, carefully take the skillet out of the oven and transfer the chicken to a warm plate, letting it rest for a moment.
