Herb Baked Chicken

 

Ingredients
  

  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs About 1.5 - 2 lbs.
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 lemon zested and sliced
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Green Beans
  • Baby Potatoes 

Instructions
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Pat the chicken thighs completely dry with paper towels.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, parsley, and lemon zest. Mix until well incorporated.
  3. Season the chicken generously on all sides with salt and pepper. Gently loosen the skin and spread about a teaspoon of the herb butter underneath the skin of each thigh.
  4. Rub the remaining herb butter all over the outside of the chicken skin. Arrange the chicken in a single layer in a baking dish. Place lemon slices around the chicken.
  5. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through, the skin is golden-brown and crispy, and an internal thermometer reads 165°F.
  6. Let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
