Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup orange juice, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 3 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, 1.5 tsp salt, and 1 tsp black pepper.
  2. Step 2: Add 6 bone-in chicken thighs to the marinade, coating thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.
  3. Step 3: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Arrange the marinated chicken thighs on a large rimmed sheet pan, skin-side up.
  4. Step 4: Scatter 6 smashed garlic cloves around the chicken pieces.
  5. Step 5: Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, until the chicken skin is golden and crispy and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  6. Step 6: Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
