Ingredients
- 8 Chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 Lemon, zested
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to ensure crispy skin.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, black pepper, and lemon zest. Mix well to create the marinade.
Step 4
Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and toss them thoroughly in the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated.
Step 5
Arrange the chicken thighs, skin-side up, in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 6
Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the skin is golden brown and crispy, and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 7
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute within the meat, keeping it moist.
Step 8
Serve the roasted chicken thighs with your choice of side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
