Ingredients
- 8 pieces chicken thighs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 minced garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, parsley, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
Place the chicken thighs into the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the herb mixture.
Arrange the chicken thighs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are skin-side up and have space between each piece for even cooking.
Roast the chicken thighs in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the skin is golden brown and crispy.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
