Description
Delicious garlic herb chicken thighs marinated in olive oil, garlic, and fresh herbs for a flavorful, juicy meal.
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken thighs by placing them in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish.
- Pour the marinade (olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper) over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated.
- Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it skin-side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Discard any leftover marinade.
- Bake the chicken thighs in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the skin is crispy and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Serve the chicken with lemon wedges on the side to add a refreshing zing.
Notes
Use fresh herbs for a more pronounced flavor. Can also grill for a smoky flavor.
