Lemon-Rosemary Chicken Thighs

Lemon + rosemary = awesome chicken thighs. I found this amazing recipe here, on a website that I visit frequently for tasty dinner ideas.


Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 24 minutes
Yield: 6 Servings

Ingredients

6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 2 lb.), excess fat trimmed
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary or 2 tsp. dried
1 garlic clove, minced
Salt and pepper


Preparation

Preheat broiler. Rinse chicken thighs; pat dry. Arrange thighs, skin side down, on a broiler pan. In a small bowl, combine lemon juice, olive oil, rosemary and garlic. Brush 1/3 of mixture over chicken and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Broil 4 to 6 inches from heat until lightly browned, about 7 minutes.

Using tongs, turn chicken thighs skin side up. Brush 1/3 of lemon-juice mixture over skin and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Broil until thighs are browned, about 7 minutes.

Turn off broiler and set oven to 450°F. Brush final 1/3 of lemon-juice mixture over chicken (discard any leftover lemon-juice mixture) and return pan to oven. Bake until juices run clear when pricked with a fork and meat is no longer pink at the bone, about 10 minutes. Serve hot.



Mmmmm...mmmmm...

  1. Sounds good!
    I might try that some time (and that's saying something, since I'm not much of a cook.)
