Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare Marinade: In a bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, lemon zest, and lemon juice. This blend of herbs and citrus will infuse the chicken with a wonderful aroma and flavor.
Marinate Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in a baking dish. Season them generously with salt and pepper. Pour the marinade over the top, making sure each piece is well-coated. Let the chicken sit for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Roast: Bake the chicken thighs for 35-40 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C). The skin should be crispy, and the meat tender and juicy.
Serve: Serve your garlic herb roasted chicken thighs with roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad. The zesty lemon and fragrant herbs pair perfectly with the rich flavor of the chicken, making this a dish that’s sure to impress.
Why Pasture-Raised Chicken?
Pasture-raised chicken not only tastes better, but it’s also healthier for you and more humane for the chickens. Our chickens are raised on open pastures, allowing them to forage and roam freely. This results in meat that’s higher in vitamins and omega-3 fatty acids compared to conventionally raised poultry.
