Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large bowl, combine 3 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp lemon zest, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp paprika to create the marinade.
  2. Step 2: Add 6 bone-in chicken thighs to the marinade, tossing well to evenly coat each piece. Let the chicken marinate for at least 20 minutes at room temperature to absorb the flavors.
  3. Step 3: Arrange the marinated chicken thighs on a baking sheet lined with foil, skin side up. Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes until the skin is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), turning once halfway for even cooking.
  4. Step 4: Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving, allowing the juices to redistribute and keep the chicken moist.
