A flavorful and easy-to-make chicken recipe perfect for weeknight dinners.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, juice of the lemon, soy sauce, and black pepper.
Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best flavor.
Place the chicken thighs in a zip-top bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and massage to coat the chicken evenly.
Ensure the chicken is fully coated by turning the bag a few times.
Let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight for more flavor.
Marinating overnight enhances the depth of flavor.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a wire rack on a baking sheet and arrange the chicken thighs on the rack.
Using a wire rack allows the heat to circulate evenly around the chicken.
Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Check the temperature with a meat thermometer to ensure doneness.
Serve the chicken hot, garnished with lemon slices or fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy your meal!
Serving with a side of roasted vegetables complements the dish perfectly.
