Thinly slice half of the lemon, removing any seeds, and cut the remaining half into wedges. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper.

Coat a large skillet with one-third of the olive oil. Add the chicken, skin side down, and place over medium heat. Cook until the skin is browned and the chicken is halfway cooked, about 10 minutes, pouring off excess fat as needed.
