Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 6 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
- 2 sprigs Fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Finely mince the garlic cloves and chop the parsley. Strip the rosemary and thyme leaves from their stems and finely chop them.
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic, rosemary, thyme, parsley, lemon zest, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and paprika to make a flavorful marinade.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to ensure a crispy skin. Rub the marinade generously all over the chicken, making sure to lift the skin slightly to get the marinade underneath as well.
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add the butter. Once the butter is melted and slightly foamy, place the chicken thighs skin-side down in the skillet. Sear them for 4-5 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy.
Flip the chicken thighs and turn off the heat. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the chicken juicy and tender.
Serve the garlic and herbs chicken with a side of roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes. Garnish with additional fresh parsley, if desired.
