Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat 1.5 lbs chicken thighs dry with paper towels, then toss with 2 tbsp olive oil, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp chopped rosemary, 1 tsp lemon zest, 1 tsp Dijon mustard, 1/2 tsp sea salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper until evenly coated.
  2. Step 2: Arrange chicken on a parchment-lined sheet pan in a single layer, skin-side up, leaving space between pieces for even browning.
  3. Step 3: Bake for 25-28 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and edges are golden-brown and crispy—check after 20 minutes to prevent over-browning.
