Ingredients
4
chicken thighs
2
tablespoons
of olive oil
Salt
to taste
Black pepper
to taste
2
cloves
of garlic
minced
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels.
Rub the chicken thighs with olive oil, then season with salt, pepper, and garlic.
Place the chicken thighs on a baking tray.
Roast the chicken thighs in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and the meat is cooked through.
Let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Pat the chicken dry before seasoning. This will help you get a nice crispy skin.
Don't rush the roasting process. Slow and steady makes the chicken tender and flavorful.
Let the chicken rest after roasting. This allows the juices to redistribute.
If you want to ensure your chicken is cooked thoroughly, use a meat thermometer. The internal temperature should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
You can marinate the chicken in spices and oil before roasting for more flavor.
