Slice the other lemon half

Make room for the chicken
Make 4 wells in the vegetables and place a lemon slice in each well.
Season the chicken
Add the chicken thighs and remaining butter mixture to the large bowl and toss to combine. Place the chicken skin-side up on the lemon slices. Brush any crushed garlic off the chicken skin to avoid burning and season the chicken skin with the salt and pepper.

Insert the June Food Thermometer
