Ingredients (serves 4):

- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary

Cooking Tips:

- Make sure to pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels before seasoning them. This will help the skin crisp up nicely.
- If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs instead. Just use about half the amount called for in the recipe.
- If you want to make this dish ahead of time, you can marinate the chicken in the lemon herb mixture for up to 24 hours in the refrigerator.

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, thyme, and rosemary.
3. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper, then brush them all over with the lemon herb mixture.
4. Place the chicken thighs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, skin side up.
5. Roast the chicken thighs in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and golden brown and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
6. Serve the Lemon Herb Thighs hot, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
