Serves 4.

Ingredients

1 lb bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
1 medium, zested and juiced lemon
1 tsp finely chopped fresh rosemary
2 cloves, minced garlic
2 tbsp olive oil
12 oz, trimmed asparagus
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Pat 1 lb bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs dry with paper towels, then season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together 1 medium lemon's zest and juice, 1 tsp chopped rosemary, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 2 tbsp olive oil. Rub the mixture evenly over chicken thighs.
Step 3: Place chicken thighs skin-side up in a roasting pan. Arrange 12 oz trimmed asparagus around the chicken. Drizzle asparagus with 1 tbsp olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Step 4: Roast in preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F internal temperature and skin is golden brown, basting chicken with pan juices halfway through.
Step 5: Transfer chicken and asparagus to a platter, letting the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving to retain juices.
