Instructions

Step 1: Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
Step 2: In a small bowl, mix 3 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp chopped rosemary, 2 tbsp fresh thyme, 4 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tsp dried oregano to form a paste.
Step 3: Rub the herb paste evenly over chicken thighs, then sprinkle 1/4 cup all-purpose flour over the chicken, pressing gently to adhere.
Step 4: Place thighs in a roasting pan, skin-side up, and roast in a preheated 400°F (200°C) oven for 35-40 minutes until skin is golden brown and crispy.
Step 5: Check internal temperature with a thermometer—it should reach 165°F (74°C) when done.
Step 6: Let rest for 5 minutes before serving to retain juices.
