Ingredients
Scale
- 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 lemon, juiced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, black pepper, paprika, red pepper flakes (if using), and lemon juice.
- Place chicken thighs in a large bowl or zip-top bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure each piece is well coated. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
- Arrange chicken thighs skin-side up in a baking dish or on a rimmed baking sheet. Pour any remaining marinade over the top.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
For extra crispy skin, broil the chicken for the last 2–3 minutes of cooking. If you don’t have fresh herbs, you can substitute 1 teaspoon each of dried rosemary and thyme. Serve with roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
