Instructions
Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Pat the chicken thighs completely dry with paper towels to ensure a crispy skin during roasting.
Make the Herb Rub
Combine minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, lemon zest, lemon juice, and olive oil in a small bowl. Mix thoroughly until a paste forms.
Apply Rub and Rest
Rub the herb mixture all over and under the skin of each chicken thigh. Let the chicken rest at room temperature for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Roast the Chicken
Place chicken thighs skin-side up in a baking dish and roast for 35 minutes until the skin is golden and internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
