Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Melt the butter with the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the chicken to the Dutch oven and brown on all sides in the butter and oil, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the chicken to a cutting board.
Drain all but 2 tablespoons of liquid from the pan, stir the garlic cloves into the reserved liquid. Return the chicken to the pan, sprinkle the water, lemon juice, salt, thyme, and black pepper over the chicken, cover tightly.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 90 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh should read 180 degrees F (82 degrees C). Remove the chicken from the oven, cover with a doubled sheet of aluminum foil, and allow to rest in a warm area for 10 minutes before slicing.
