Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon fresh oregano
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 4 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, finely chopped fresh rosemary, thyme, parsley, and oregano.
Add the lemon juice, freshly ground black pepper, minced garlic cloves, and onion powder to the herb and oil mixture. Mix well to form an herb marinade.
Arrange the chicken thighs in a single layer in a large baking dish.
Pour the herb marinade over the chicken thighs, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 10 minutes for the flavors to blend.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven.
Bake in the oven for 35 minutes, then remove the foil for the last 10 minutes to let the chicken lightly brown.
Check the chicken for doneness: the internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C) and the juices should run clear.
Once done, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the herb-infused chicken thighs with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
