Lemon Herb Baked Boneless Chicken Thighs with Honey Glaze
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tbsp lemon zest
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 cup honey
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 3 cloves minced garlic, 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 1 tbsp lemon zest, 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme, 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
- Place the boneless, skinless chicken thighs in a large resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over the chicken. Seal the bag and massage the marinade into the chicken. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the marinated chicken thighs in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- While the chicken is baking, prepare the honey glaze by heating 1/4 cup honey in a small saucepan over low heat until it becomes thin and pourable.
- Once the chicken is cooked through, brush the honey glaze over the top of each chicken thigh.
- Return the glazed chicken to the oven and broil for 2-3 minutes, or until the glaze is caramelized and bubbly.
- Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
