1 tbsp Lemon zest
2 tbsp Lemon juice
2 tsp Dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, rosemary, thyme)
1 tsp Black pepper
1 tsp Salt-free seasoning blend(optional)

Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, Italian herbs, black pepper, and salt-free seasoning.

Coat the thighs thoroughly in the marinade, massaging some under the skin. Cover and marinate 15 minutes while the oven preheats to 425°F (220°C).

Arrange thighs skin-side up on a rimmed baking sheet or roasting pan, leaving space between pieces.

Roast 40-45 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden and the internal temperature reaches 175°F (74°C) at the thickest part.

Rest 5 minutes, then sprinkle with fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon before serving.
