Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Chicken thighs
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 cup Chicken stock
- 1 medium Lemon slices
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to ensure the skin will get crispy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, fresh rosemary, fresh thyme, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir to mix well.
Add the chicken thighs to the bowl, turning them in the herb and lemon mixture until they are thoroughly coated. Allow them to marinate for about 10 minutes.
Place the marinated chicken thighs skin side up in a baking dish, ensuring they are in a single layer.
Pour the chicken stock around the chicken in the baking dish. This will help to keep the chicken moist during baking.
Arrange lemon slices over and around the chicken thighs for added flavor.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 35 to 45 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the skin is golden brown.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired and serve warm.
