Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and prepare a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to ensure crispy skin.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, oregano, and chopped rosemary to create a marinade.

Rub the marinade all over the chicken thighs, making sure to get it under the skin as well.

Step 5

Arrange the chicken thighs skin side up on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching each other.

Step 6

Place lemon slices around the chicken thighs for added flavor.

Step 7

Roast the chicken thighs in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is golden brown and crispy.

Step 8

Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve hot with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
