  • Author: Luna
  • Total Time: 34 minute

Ingredients

– 4 chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried rosemary)
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 tablespoon lemon juice
– 1 teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– Optional: lemon wedges and additional rosemary sprigs for garnish


Instructions

Creating Garlic Rosemary Chicken Thighs is simple if you follow these easy steps:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine minced garlic, chopped rosemary, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) if you plan to bake the chicken.
4. Arrange the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it in a baking dish or on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Discard any remaining marinade.
5. Bake the Chicken: Bake the chicken thighs in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the skin is crispy and golden brown.
6. Optional Searing: For extra crispiness, you can sear the chicken thighs in a hot skillet for 3-4 minutes on each side before baking.
7. Let it Rest: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
8. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with lemon wedges and additional rosemary sprigs if desired.

These steps will help you create perfectly seasoned, juicy Garlic Rosemary Chicken Thighs.
