Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a small bowl, combine 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 4 minced garlic cloves, 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper, stirring until well mixed.
  2. Step 2: Place 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs on a large rimmed baking sheet and brush the lemon garlic mixture evenly over each piece, making sure to get under the skin where possible.
  3. Step 3: Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes until the skin is golden and crisp and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  4. Step 4: Remove from oven and sprinkle with 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley before serving to add a fresh, vibrant note.
