Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken thighs, skinless and bone-in
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 teaspoons rosemary, fresh and chopped
• 1 teaspoon thyme, fresh and chopped
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
• 0.5 cup chicken broth, low sodium

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.

Step 3

Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and coat them thoroughly with the marinade. Ensure each thigh is evenly covered with the mixture.

Step 4

Allow the chicken thighs to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes to soak up the flavors.

Step 5

Place the marinated chicken thighs in a baking dish, and pour the low sodium chicken broth around them to keep them moist while baking.

Step 6

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven.

Step 7

Bake for 25 minutes, then remove the foil and continue to bake for another 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown on top. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).

Step 8

Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving, allowing the juices to redistribute.

Step 9

Serve the Low Fat Coscia di Pollo al Forno with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad.
