Rosemary chicken thigh recipe for Chicken Thighs with Rosemary and Lemon Marinade is one of my favorites when it comes to cooking something practical that I hope will be a total success.
Almost everyone likes chicken, especially if it’s fried. This recipe is my alternative to fried chicken because although baked without many additions, we get some pieces of chicken that are crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.
The marinade with fresh rosemary, garlic, and lemon makes all the difference trick to this chicken recipe is the marinade.
The delicious combination of olive oil, garlic, rosemary, and lemon impregnates the meat with a delicate flavor that highlights its natural taste, and together with the skin (in this recipe I like to leave it on if you want you can remove it) an effect is achieved that although It is not exactly the one with fried chicken, it has nothing to envy.
Serve with rice, tostones, and fresh salad
You can use other parts of the chicken, not just the legs or thighs. You can even marinate the whole bird and take it to the oven, introducing a lemon slice and rosemary leaves, luxury!
Don’t limit yourself to the thighs, marinate the whole chicken!
Accompany this chicken with my Pilaf Rice recipe or my Paprika and Lemon Rice recipe, also with tostones or fried sweet potato pieces, a fresh salad, and a refreshing drink. Has your mouth water yet?
