Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create an herb marinade.
Pat dry the chicken thighs with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Place the chicken thighs in a large bowl or resealable plastic bag and pour the herb marinade over the chicken. Ensure that each thigh is well-coated with the marinade.
Let the chicken marinate for at least 10 minutes to absorb the flavors. For more intense flavor, marinate longer in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.
Arrange the marinated chicken thighs in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and the meat is tender and juicy.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the herb-infused baked chicken thighs with your favorite low-fat side dishes or salads for a wholesome meal.
