Step 1
Heat the oven to 425°F. Pat the chicken thighs dry and season generously on both sides with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high. Place the thighs skin-side down and let them sear undisturbed for about 6 minutes, until the skin is deep golden.
Step 3
Flip the chicken and tuck the smashed garlic and thyme into the pan. Slide the skillet into the oven and roast for 10 minutes.
Step 4
Toss the asparagus with the remaining olive oil and a pinch of salt. Pull the skillet out, add the asparagus around the chicken, and return to the oven for 6 to 8 more minutes, until the chicken reaches 165°F and the asparagus is tender-crisp.
Step 5
Squeeze the lemon over everything and rest for 3 minutes before serving.
