Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 lemon, sliced
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and prepare a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to ensure crispy skin.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, oregano, and chopped rosemary to create a marinade.
Rub the marinade all over the chicken thighs, making sure to get it under the skin as well.
Arrange the chicken thighs skin side up on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching each other.
Place lemon slices around the chicken thighs for added flavor.
Roast the chicken thighs in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is golden brown and crispy.
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve hot with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
