Lemon & Rosemary Chicken Thighs
Are you a thigh man? or a breast man?
I could go either way (though I am not a man).
I grew up eating dried out chicken breasts, baked for 2 hours too long, sprinkled with garlic powder and paprika, so when I discovered that there was such a thing as a chicken thigh, I was thrilled.
Oh, how I love that dark meat. It's so much tastier and juicier than white meat.
Here are my best thighs.
Lemon & Rosemary Chicken Thighs:
1 package of 6 chicken thighs, with skin (of course).
2 lemons, cut into 6 slices
6 sprigs of fresh rosemary
Lay your lemon slices in a 9 x 13 glass pan.
Now lay a sprig of fresh rosemary across each lemon slice.
Lay each thigh on top of a lemon slice.
Make a mixture of:
3 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary
2 cloves of minced garlic
1 tbsp kosher salt
Spoon this mixture over your thighs and bake in a 425 oven for about 55 minutes.
Baste with this delicious lemony garlic sauce before serving.
Comments
Good using the fresh rosemary...the dried stuff tends to burn in the oven.
Chicken thighs are underrated. Yours sound great!
