Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 4 tbsp orange blossom honey, 3 tbsp olive oil, 4 minced garlic cloves, 3 sprigs chopped rosemary, 1 tsp lemon zest, 1 tbsp white wine vinegar, 1 1/2 tsp salt, and 1 tsp black pepper until well combined.
  2. Step 2: Pat 6 bone-in chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Place them skin-side up on a rimmed baking sheet lined with foil.
  3. Step 3: Brush the honey rosemary glaze generously over each chicken thigh, ensuring even coverage.
  4. Step 4: Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes until the skin is golden brown and crispy, and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  5. Step 5: Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
