Ingredients:

3 kg chicken thighs, bone-in, skin-on

1/4 cup olive oil

6 cloves garlic, minced

2 teaspoons dried thyme

2 teaspoons dried rosemary

2 teaspoons paprika

Salt and black pepper to taste

Zest of 2 lemons

Juice of 2 lemons

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Lemon wedges (for serving)

Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to (200°C).


Prepare the Chicken Thighs:

Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels.

In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, dried thyme, dried rosemary, paprika, salt,

black pepper, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Mix well to create a marinade.


Marinate the Chicken:

Place the chicken thighs in the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Allow it to

marinate for at least 30 minutes for the  avors to infuse.


Roast in the Oven:

Arrange the chicken thighs on a baking sheet or roasting pan, skin side up.

Roast in the preheated oven for approximately 45-50 minutes or until the chicken is golden brown and

cooked through. The internal temperature should reach (74°C).


Baste During Cooking:

Baste the chicken with the pan juices halfway through the cooking time to keep it moist and  avorful.


Garnish and Serve:

Once the chicken thighs are cooked, remove them from the oven.

Garnish with fresh chopped parsley.


Serve:

Serve the Oven-Roasted Lemon Garlic Chicken Thighs with lemon wedges on the side.

Pair it with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
