Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step
2 mins

In a small bowl, meticulously combine the chopped rosemary, lemon zest, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper. (2 minutes)

03

Step
5 mins

Gently rub the aromatic mixture over each chicken thigh, ensuring every nook and cranny is infused with flavor. Place the seasoned chicken thighs into a baking dish, skin side up. Lightly spray the chicken with olive oil cooking spray to encourage a golden-brown crispness. (5 minutes)

04

Step
40 mins

Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is cooked through, the juices run clear, and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), approximately 35 to 40 minutes.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a clove of minced garlic to the rosemary mixture.
If you prefer boneless, skinless chicken thighs, adjust the baking time accordingly, checking for doneness after 25-30 minutes.
Serve these delectable chicken thighs with roasted vegetables, creamy mashed potatoes, or a refreshing salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
To make it even easier, you can marinate the chicken in the rosemary mixture for at least 30 minutes, or even overnight, in the refrigerator before baking to enhance the flavor.

    I didn't have fresh rosemary, so I used dried rosemary and it still turned out great.

    Next time, I'm going to try adding some Dijon mustard to the rosemary mixture for a little extra tang.
