Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 pounds Chicken thighs
3 tablespoons Olive oil
2 teaspoons Lemon zest
1 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Pepper
1/2 teaspoon Dried basil
1/2 teaspoon Dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon Dried rosemary
1/4 teaspoon Garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
4 cloves Garlic cloves, peeled
2 Meyer lemons, thinly sliced
1 Head of garlic
3 tablespoons Fresh oregano

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425. Brush a baking sheet with a drop of olive oil or mist it with olive oil. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels.
  • In a bowl stir together the lemon zest, salt, pepper, basil, thyme, rosemary, garlic powder, and pepper flakes.
  • Place the chicken on the baking sheet and drizzle it with 1 1/2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over top of each chicken thigh. Place the garlic cloves and lemon slices around the chicken. Slice off the top of the garlic head and rub off any excess paper on the outsides then place the garlic, cloves side up, on the baking sheet. Take the remaining olive oil and drizzle over contents on the pan.
  • Roast for 35-40 minutes, or until the insides of the chicken reach 165 degrees. Remove the chicken and sprinkle with fresh oregano.
