Citrus Garlic Herb Baked Chicken Thighs
Hi Everyone, I love sharing recipes that are garden-inspired, after starting my garden this past Spring.
These Citrus Garlic Herb Baked Chicken thighs use lemon, lime, garlic, plenty of herbs like Winter Savory, Thyme, and Rosemary.
I love having this main dish with rice (I love to drizzle the chicken marinade juice on the rice!) and a simple garden salad.

Citrus Garlic Herb Baked Chicken Thighs
Citrus Garlic Herb Baked Chicken Thighs is a garden-inspired, fragrant and flavorful, savory main dish. gluten-free option, 4-6 servings
Ingredients
- 1-2 pounds boneless chicken thighs and legs, use the freshest available, I recommend organic, sustainably raised
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme sprigs, washed and chopped
- 2-3 sprigs fresh rosemary , washed
- 5 sprigs winter savory springs, washed
- 1/2 lemon, sliced, reserve the remaining half for garnish
- 1/2 lime, sliced, reserve the remaining half for garnish
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 6 fresh garlic cloves, crushed and chopped
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar, I prefer Balsamic vinegar imported from Modena, Italy, omit if you need this recipe to be gluten-free
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt, or amount to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper, or amount to taste
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, optional, to dot the top before baking
Instructions
- Mix all the prepared marinade ingredients together with the chicken thighs. You can put everything in a Ziplock bag and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. You can also just put everything in the baking dish that you will bake the chicken in and cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour or overnight.
- After the chicken has been marinated. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Bake for 30 minutes. You can also bake chicken thighs at a higher temperature like 400, 425, or even 450 degrees F for 20-25 minutes respectively, the higher temperature will burn up the herbs so that's why I recommend 350 degrees for longer which cooks the thighs through and leaves them juicy. So, if you do the higher temperature, make sure you remove the herbs or have them covered by the thighs or submerged in the marinade. Enjoy with your favorite sides!
Notes
The safest way to check for doneness is by using a meat thermometer, the internal temperature of chicken thighs should be 165° Fahrenheit (75° Celsius).
