Crispy skin, juicy and tender meat. Add in the marinated artichokes and lemon and you've got an easy and delicious weeknight meal!
- 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs can use other pieces as well

- 1 lemon, sliced
- 4-6 whole garlic cloves peeled
- 1 sprig rosemary
- 5-6 sage leaves

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Pat your chicken dry with a paper towel and cut off any excess skin. Sprinkle the tops with salt and pepper and place in a cast iron skillet or baking dish.
Pour the whole jar of artichokes, oil included, on top of the chicken pieces. Then spread the lemon slices, garlic cloves and sage leaves on top. Top it with a sprig of rosemary.
Bake for 1 hour or until internal temperature reads 165 F and the skin is crispy. Basting every 20-25 minutes.
