Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 5 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh thyme, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 whole Lemon, juiced
- 1 whole Lemon, sliced for garnish
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, parsley, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Mix well to create a marinade.
Place the chicken thighs in a large bowl or a zip-lock bag. Pour the herb and garlic marinade over the chicken thighs, ensuring each piece is well coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 1 hour in the refrigerator for more flavor.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil. Arrange the chicken thighs on the baking sheet, skin side up.
Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes, or until the skin is golden brown and crispy, and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
For an extra crispy finish, broil the chicken thighs for an additional 2-3 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the chicken thighs garnished with fresh lemon slices and additional fresh herbs if desired.
