Ingredients

• 4 pieces Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
• 4 cloves Garlic, minced
• 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 0.25 cup Grated Pecorino Romano cheese
• 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to ensure a crispy skin. Season both sides with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the minced garlic, olive oil, dried oregano, and grated Pecorino Romano cheese to form a thick paste.

Step 4

Rub the garlic and cheese mixture evenly over the tops of the chicken thighs, ensuring the seasonings stick to the skin.

Step 5

Place the chicken thighs skin-side up in a baking dish or ovenproof skillet, ensuring they are not overcrowded for even cooking.

Step 6

Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.

Step 7

About 5 minutes before the chicken is finished cooking, drizzle the red wine vinegar evenly over the chicken thighs and return to the oven. This step will create a tangy glaze and enhance the flavors.

Step 8

Once done, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 9

Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for garnish, if desired, and serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or a green salad.
