Instructions:
-
Marinate – In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, garlic, herbs, salt, and pepper. Place the chicken thighs in a large baking dish and pour the marinade over them. Make sure each piece is well coated. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight for deeper flavor).
-
Bake – Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the chicken uncovered for 30–35 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
-
Serve – Let rest for a few minutes after baking, then serve hot. This dish pairs wonderfully with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh green salad.
