Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. In a measuring cup or small bowl, mix the lemon juice, olive oil, melted butter, rosemary, salt, pepper, and garlic.
- Place the chicken thighs into a baking dish and pour the sauce over the top. Mix the chicken around so that each piece is coated in the sauce. Arrange the chicken top side down then bake the chicken for 20 minutes.
- Turn the chicken so that it is top side up then continue to bake it for another 30-40 minutes, until it is cooked through and golden brown.
- Serve the chicken with some minced parsley and lemon slices.
Notes
- This recipe is delicious with both skin-on and skinless chicken thighs. The nutritional information is calculated with skinless thighs.
- If using boneless chicken breasts, reduce the cooking time to 25-30 minutes.
- If using boneless chicken thighs, reduce the cooking time to 20 minutes.
- In the pictures, we serve this with seared lemons. But regular sliced lemons work well, too.
