Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 teaspoons Fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to ensure crisp skin, and place them in a large baking dish.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, parsley, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create a herb marinade.
Rub the herb mixture evenly over the chicken thighs, making sure to get some under the skin for maximum flavor.
Arrange the chicken thighs in the baking dish, skin-side up, without overcrowding them.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the skin is golden and crispy.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with additional fresh parsley, if desired, and serve with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
