Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 0.25 cup Grated Pecorino Romano cheese
- 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to ensure a crispy skin. Season both sides with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
In a small bowl, mix the minced garlic, olive oil, dried oregano, and grated Pecorino Romano cheese to form a thick paste.
Rub the garlic and cheese mixture evenly over the tops of the chicken thighs, ensuring the seasonings stick to the skin.
Place the chicken thighs skin-side up in a baking dish or ovenproof skillet, ensuring they are not overcrowded for even cooking.
Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.
About 5 minutes before the chicken is finished cooking, drizzle the red wine vinegar evenly over the chicken thighs and return to the oven. This step will create a tangy glaze and enhance the flavors.
Once done, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for garnish, if desired, and serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or a green salad.
