- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to ensure crisp skin, and place them in a large baking dish.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, parsley, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create a herb marinade.
Step 4
Rub the herb mixture evenly over the chicken thighs, making sure to get some under the skin for maximum flavor.
Step 5
Arrange the chicken thighs in the baking dish, skin-side up, without overcrowding them.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the skin is golden and crispy.
Step 7
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 8
Garnish with additional fresh parsley, if desired, and serve with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
