Lemon Herb Roasted Chicken Thighs are a perfect choice for an easy dinner or weeknight dinner. This family dinner option features juicy oven roasted chicken thighs with a flavorful herb marinade that everyone will enjoy.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 (6-8 oz. each) bone-in skin-on chicken thighs (pasture-raised organic when possible)
  • 2 tsp dried Italian herbs (or sub 1 tsp dried basil + 1 tsp dried oregano)
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1 medium lemon thinly sliced into rounds
  • 3–4 Tbsp fresh hardy herbs (thyme rosemary sage // removed from thick stems and torn a bit // optional)

Instructions

  1. Warm your oven to 375 degrees F 190 C and set a 10 inch cast iron or another oven-safe skillet on your stove.
  2. Mix together Italian herbs, sea salt, red pepper flakes if using black pepper and garlic powder in a small bowl and coat both sides of the chicken thighs evenly with this.
  3. Heat oil in the skillet on medium to medium-high heat then sear the chicken thighs for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  4. Turn the heat off then lay lemon slices on top and around the chicken and scatter fresh herbs like rosemary thyme or sage as desired.
  5. Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes until the chicken’s internal temperature reaches about 170 degrees F.
  6. Remove from oven and allow the chicken to rest in the pan for around 5 minutes before serving. The pan juices mixed with olive oil and lemon make a tasty sauce to drizzle over the chicken and side dishes.

Notes

  • For crisp tops, broil 2–3 minutes at the end
