Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). In a small bowl, combine 3 tbsp olive oil, 5 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1 tsp dried thyme, 1/2 tsp dried rosemary, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 2 tbsp lemon juice to make an herb marinade.
Step 2: Pat dry 4 chicken thighs with skin and place them in a large bowl. Pour the herb marinade over the chicken, tossing thoroughly to coat every piece.
Step 3: Arrange the chicken thighs skin-side up on a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, until the skin is golden brown and an internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 4: Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley over the chicken before serving to add freshness and color.
