Recipe: Lemon Garlic Roasted Chicken Thighs
Ingredients:
- 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- Zest of 1 lemon
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Lemon slices, for garnish
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare the Chicken Thighs: Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Season the Chicken: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Coat the Chicken: Brush the lemon garlic mixture generously over the chicken thighs, making sure they are evenly coated on all sides.
Roast the Chicken: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the chicken thighs for about 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should register 165°F (75°C) on a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh.
Garnish and Serve: Once the chicken thighs are done, remove them from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. Garnish with lemon slices and chopped parsley for a fresh burst of flavor.
Serve and Enjoy: Serve the lemon garlic roasted chicken thighs hot, alongside your favorite sides such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a crisp green salad. Enjoy the juicy and flavorful chicken with its aromatic lemon and garlic notes!
