Ingredients:

• 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
• 1 lemon, sliced
• 4 garlic cloves, minced

• 2 sprigs of fresh thyme
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper

Kitchen Tools:

To start, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel and place them in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle olive oil over the chicken and season with salt and pepper. Add minced garlic, fresh rosemary, and thyme sprigs to the bowl. Gently toss everything together until the chicken is well coated with the herbs and seasonings.

Transfer the seasoned chicken thighs to a baking dish, skin side up. Place lemon slices on top of each thigh for an extra burst of citrus flavor. Bake in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crispy.

Once the chicken is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. The aroma of lemon and herbs will fill your kitchen, creating a mouth-watering anticipation for this flavorful dish.
