Step 1
Season the 4 chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 2 minutes.
Step 2
Place the chicken skin-side down in the skillet. Cook until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes, then flip and cook 3 minutes more. Remove to a plate.
Step 3
Add the 1 sliced onion and 2 whole red chilies to the skillet. Cook over medium, stirring, until the onion is soft and golden, about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Return the chicken to the skillet. Add the 2 rosemary sprigs and juice of 1 lemon. Simmer until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 5
Serve hot, garnished with lemon slices and extra rosemary if desired.
