Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Drizzle the chicken thighs with olive oil and lemon juice, rubbing them all over for even coating.
In a small bowl, combine the rosemary, thyme, parsley, minced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper.
Rub the herb mixture under the skin and over the surface of each chicken thigh.
Arrange the chicken thighs skin-side up on a roasting pan or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crispy.
To ensure doneness, make sure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) using a meat thermometer.
Allow the chicken to rest for at least 5 minutes before serving to let the juices settle.
Serve warm with your choice of paleo-friendly sides such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
