Ingredients
- 2 pieces bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper, freshly ground
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Step 2
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels to ensure crispy skin. Place them on the prepared baking sheet skin-side up.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, rosemary, thyme, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create a flavorful herb marinade.
Step 4
Using a brush or your hands, evenly coat the chicken breasts with the herb mixture, ensuring you get some underneath the skin for extra flavor.
Step 5
Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.
Step 6
For an extra crispy skin, switch the oven to broil for the final 2-3 minutes of cooking, keeping a close eye on the chicken to prevent burning.
Step 7
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute for maximum tenderness.
Step 8
Serve the roasted chicken breasts warm with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a crisp green salad.
