These chicken thighs are perfect for weeknights or meal prep yet elegant enough to be the centerpiece at a dinner party. Our favorite kind of recipe! Just 7 ingredients and 30 minutes required. Let us show you how it’s done!
How to Make Lemon & Herb Roasted Chicken Thighs
The first step in our journey to flavorful roasted chicken thighs is combining some dried herbs and spices! Italian herbs (basil and oregano) combine with garlic powder, red pepper flakes, and salt and pepper for a perfectly balanced and super savory blend. Next the spices generously coat the chicken thighs, and they go right in the pan. No waiting or marinating necessary! The thighs start skin side down for extra crispy goodness. After both sides of the chicken thighs have their stovetop time, it’s garnish o’clock! Sliced lemons and fresh herbs add moisture and flavor as well as major gorgeousness. We eat with our eyes first, after all! Then, at last, it’s time for a quick trip to the oven and they’re ready to enjoy. We hope you LOVE these roasted chicken thighs!
