Ingredients
- 8 pieces Chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 5 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh thyme, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 whole Lemon, juiced
- 1 whole Lemon, sliced for garnish
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, parsley, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Mix well to create a marinade.
Step 3
Place the chicken thighs in a large bowl or a zip-lock bag. Pour the herb and garlic marinade over the chicken thighs, ensuring each piece is well coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 1 hour in the refrigerator for more flavor.
Step 4
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil. Arrange the chicken thighs on the baking sheet, skin side up.
Step 5
Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes, or until the skin is golden brown and crispy, and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 6
For an extra crispy finish, broil the chicken thighs for an additional 2-3 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 8
Serve the chicken thighs garnished with fresh lemon slices and additional fresh herbs if desired.
