Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a large sheet pan with foil for easy cleanup. Pat dry 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs with paper towels to ensure crispy skin.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, combine 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, 6 minced garlic cloves, 3 chopped rosemary sprigs, 1 1/2 tsp sea salt, and 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the chicken thighs, making sure to get under the skin where possible.
  3. Step 3: Arrange the seasoned chicken thighs skin side up on the prepared sheet pan, spacing them about 1 inch apart. Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  4. Step 4: Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Serve with 1 lemon cut into wedges to squeeze over the chicken for a bright finish.
