Ingredients
- 6 chicken thigh see notes above if using bone-in, skin-on thighs, which are also just as flavorful in this recipe, boneless, skinless
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp sea salt Celtic variety
- 1 tsp black pepper fresh cracked
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Add all ingredients into a bowl or plastic bag and let marinate for 30 minutes to overnight.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Optional - brown chicken thighs on the outside in a pan over high heat until just golden brown. (If pre-browning, reduce total cook time by 5-8 minutes.)
- Place chicken thighs on parchment paper, taking care to not space too close together.
- Bake for 10 minutes, then flip and take temperature. Bake another 10 minutes and check the chicken's temperature.
- As chicken is about 150 degrees, turn on the broiler to high and let crisp until 165 degrees internally (only about 5 minutes - take care to not burn the chicken! Watch it closely.)
- Serve immediately.
- Leftovers can be kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days - 3 months if frozen.
