Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). In a small bowl, combine 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, 5 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1 tsp dried thyme, 1 1/2 tsp salt, and 1 tsp black pepper to make a herb marinade.
- Step 2: Rub the herb marinade evenly over 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, making sure to get some under the skin for maximum flavor.
- Step 3: Place the chicken thighs skin-side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil. Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Step 4: Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Serve with fresh lemon wedges to squeeze over the chicken for a bright finish.
