Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Chicken broth
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel and set them aside.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Rub the seasoning mixture all over the chicken thighs, making sure to get it under the skin as well.
Step 5
Place the seasoned chicken thighs in a roasting pan or an oven-safe dish in a single layer, skin side up.
Step 6
Drizzle the lemon juice over the chicken and pour the chicken broth into the bottom of the pan.
Step 7
Transfer the dish to the preheated oven and roast for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the skin is golden brown.
Step 8
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring moist and flavorful meat.
Step 9
Serve warm with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a green salad.
