Crispy and Juicy Baked Chicken Thighs Recipe
Report
This tender and crispy, Italian-baked chicken thighs recipe is incredibly easy and made in the oven in about 35 minutes! Bone-in chicken thighs are marinated with garlic cloves, olive oil, Italian seasoning, and fresh lemon juice for the best bold flavors.

Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken thighs bone-in; skin-on
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3-4 garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- kosher salt to taste
- Kosher pepper to taste
- 1 lemon juice and zest
- ⅔ cups low-sodium chicken stock
- ¼ cup fresh parsley chopped
- lemon slices to garnish; optional
Instructions
- Place all the ingredients, except for the stock and parsley, in a Ziploc bag. Stir well through the bag to coat the chicken thighs.
- Marinade the chicken thighs for one hour or overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Preheat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken until golden brown on both sides.
- Pour over the stock and stir a bit to release those brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Transfer to the preheated oven.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the internal temperature reads 165°F.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and lemon slices, if desired.
Notes
- Any kind of oil will work for this recipe; however, I recommend olive oil because of its rich flavors.
- Feel free to use boneless chicken thighs instead of bone-in thighs. I like the flavors of bone-in chicken thighs because they are juicy and tender.
- Vegetable stock will work in place of chicken stock.
- Store the leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days.
- Swap out the fresh lemon for lime in this chicken recipe.
- Get creative and use different seasonings in place of Italian seasoning if you want to experiment with different flavors.
- Be sure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Use your favorite kitchen thermometer to check the temperature.
