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:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Coat the Chicken: Brush the lemon garlic mixture generously over the chicken thighs, making sure they are evenly coated on all sides.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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!
