Ingredients

  • 2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 0.25 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1.5 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon cracked black pepper
  • 1 whole lemon slices(optional)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped(optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and lightly grease a large rimmed baking sheet or baking dish.

  2. 2

    Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to ensure the skin gets crispy during roasting.

  3. 3

    In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper.

  4. 4

    Place the chicken thighs in a large bowl and pour the marinade over them, tossing to coat every piece thoroughly.

  5. 5

    Arrange the chicken on the prepared baking sheet skin-side up, tucking lemon slices between the pieces if using.

  6. 6

    Roast in the center of the oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

  7. 7

    Turn on the broiler for the last 2-3 minutes if you prefer extra golden, crispy skin.

  8. 8

    Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before garnishing with fresh parsley and serving.
