6-8 bone-in, skin-on or boneless skinless chicken thighs
– 4-5 cloves of garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon garlic powder
– 1 tablespoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1 teaspoon black pepper
– 1/4 cup olive oil
– Juice of 2 lemons
– Zest of 1 lemon
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces
– 1 lemon, thinly sliced
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a small bowl, prepare the marinade by combining the minced garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, olive oil, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Mix well.
3. Place the chicken thighs in a large bowl or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure each piece is well coated. Massage the marinade into the chicken, then cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or ideally up to 4 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
4. Once the chicken has marinated, transfer the chicken and the marinade to a baking dish. Arrange the chicken thighs in a single layer, then pour any remaining marinade over the top. Place lemon slices on and around the chicken, and distribute the pieces of butter evenly over the top of the chicken.
5. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
6. After 30 minutes, remove the foil and continue to bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) when tested with a meat thermometer.
7. Once the chicken is cooked through, remove the baking dish from the oven. Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes. Sprinkle with chopped parsley for garnish, if desired.
