Ingredients

Scale

4 bone-in chicken thighs (skin-on)
2 tbsp olive oil
4 garlic cloves (minced)
2 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
1 tsp dried thyme or rosemary
1/4 cup soy sauce (low-sodium)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking dish with parchment paper.
In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and dried herbs.
Place chicken thighs in a zip-top bag or shallow dish; pour marinade over them and coat thoroughly. Marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
Arrange the chicken thighs skin-side up in the baking dish and bake for 35-40 minutes until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Broil for extra crispiness if desired.
Serve with any remaining marinade drizzled over the top.
