Once the skin is nice and crispy flip of the chicken and seal on the opposite side for 2-3 minutes.
Remove from the pan and place in an oven-proof dish.
In a bowl combine the stock, lemon juice, zest and the garlic.
Place the lemon slices around the chicken, gently pour the stock mixture into the dish making sure that is only gets on the base of the dis and not on the crispy chicken skin!
Scatter the thyme over the dish and bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes until the chicken if cooked through.
Serve and enjoy!!
