Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 1 lemon Zest of a lemon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, smoked paprika, ground black pepper, sea salt, and lemon zest.
Add the chicken thighs to the bowl, ensuring they are thoroughly coated with the marinade. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.
Place the marinated chicken thighs, skin side up, in a baking dish in a single layer.
Pour the remaining marinade over the chicken in the baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the chicken skin is golden and crispy and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the soy-free flavorful baked chicken with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
