Turn stove to medium-high heat
Drizzle just a dab of oil on sauce pan, add butter, and thyme. Let butter melt until you see some sizzling going on. This is when the butter will asborb the flavors of the thyme.
Place in the chicken thighs and let cook for 15 minutes. This is when your thighs get their golden brown finish, so resist the urge to flip over!
Flip chicken and continue to cook for another 10-15 minutes, or until firm and cooked inside
Once chicken is cooked inside and nicely golden brown, place aside in a serving dish
Go back to the sauce pan and splash in the wine. Scrape up the chicken goodness in the pan as the alcohol evaporates.
Turn down heat to medium heat. Squeeze in lemon and add in garlic. Let simmer for another 5 minutes.
Stir together and add salt and pepper to taste - I like mine a little saltier, paired wih the lemoniness for an extra zing.
