Method
Steps
- Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to ensure a crisp skin.
- In a bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp olive oil, the zest and juice of 2 lemons, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbs chopped fresh rosemary, 1 tbs chopped fresh thyme, 1 tsp sea salt, and 1 tsp cracked black pepper.
- Toss the chicken thighs in the mixture until they are evenly coated.
- Let the coated chicken rest at room temperature for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate.
- Preheat the oven to 425 °F (220 °C). Place the chicken skin‑side up on a rack in a shallow roasting pan or on a grill grate.
- Roast or grill the chicken for 25–30 minutes, flipping once, until the internal temperature reaches 165 °F (74 °C) and the skin is golden.
- If desired, broil the chicken for the last 2 minutes to crisp the skin further, watching closely to prevent burning.
- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
