Lemon Garlic Chicken Thighs
Lemon Garlic Chicken Thigh is a delicious dish made with chicken thighs marinated in a zesty blend of lemon juice, garlic, and other flavorful herbs and spices. The chicken is usually pan-seared or grilled.
Ingredients
- 6 chicken thighs bone-in and skin-on
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
- Place the chicken thighs in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure each piece is coated evenly. Close the bag or cover the dish and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or ideally, overnight for maximum flavor.
- Preheat a grill or stovetop pan to medium-high heat. If using a grill, make sure it's well-oiled to prevent sticking.
- Remove the chicken thighs from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off.
- Place the chicken on the grill or stovetop pan, skin-side down. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of the chicken thighs.
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve with roasted vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
