Delicious Roasted Garlic Chicken Recipe for Dinner

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 4 pieces chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on for best flavor)
  • 1 head garlic (whole, cloves separated)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin recommended)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary (chopped, or 1 teaspoon dried)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Use an oven thermometer for accuracy.
  2. Prepare the Chicken

    Pat the chicken thighs dry and place them in a roasting pan.

    Dry skin will result in crispier chicken.
  3. Add Garlic

    Scatter the separated garlic cloves around the chicken in the pan.

    Roasting garlic enhances its sweetness.
  4. Season the Dish

    Drizzle olive oil over the chicken and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and rosemary.

    Rub the seasonings into the chicken skin for better flavor.
  5. Roast the Chicken

    Roast in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

    Baste the chicken halfway through for moistness.
  6. Rest and Serve

    Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before serving.

    Resting allows juices to redistribute.
