Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 skin-on chicken drumsticks (about 1 pound)
- 4 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs (about 1 1/2 pounds)
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 12 cloves garlic (about 1 head)
- 2 lemons (finely grated zest of one, juice of both)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 pound frozen corn, thawed
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
Directions
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper, and 2 tablespoons flour. Add to the skillet and cook, turning, until slightly golden on all sides, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, lemon zest and lemon juice and turn the chicken to coat. Transfer the skillet to the oven; roast until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, about 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the corn and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until the corn softens, about 5 minutes. Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon flour, then add the milk and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer, stirring, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the chives and season with salt and pepper.
Divide the chicken among plates and drizzle with the pan juices. Serve with the creamed corn.

This recipe is supreme and one that I have gone back to several times! The creamed corn is a cinch to make and delicious. I used 2% milk and a bag of golden and white corn mix. I have to tell you my family, who happens to be very picky, ate every bit of this meal. We also had a green salad on the side!

So good and very economical. I transfered the chicken to a pan as my skillet wasn't large enough to hold everything, then added a bit of chicken broth to really stretch the sauce. Awesome!

Great recipe. Made it several times already and will keep it for sure. I don't like to use oven during the summer when it is hot and a/c is working non-stop. So, tried to make it in skillet. It was good too.
