Ready Time

Yields

4 servings

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 cloves garlic, minced, 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, packed in oil, drained and chopped, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon paprika

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Rinse the chicken thighs and pat them dry with paper towels.

In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, chopped rosemary, salt, black pepper, and paprika.

Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and toss them to coat evenly with the marinade. Make sure they’re fully coated! Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper, and spray with some cooking spray.

Arrange the chicken thighs on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.

Bake for about 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Let the chicken thighs rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Serve hot and relish the flavors!

Notes

Use high-quality sun-dried tomatoes that are packed in oil for the best flavor. You can also use fresh tomatoes if sun-dried tomatoes are not available, but the flavor will be different.

Make sure to pat the chicken thighs dry before marinating to ensure the marinade adheres well.

Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet, as this can affect the even cooking of the chicken. If you prefer crispy skin, bake the chicken for an additional 10-15 minutes after the initial 35-40 minutes.

Let the chicken rest for the full 10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute, making the meat tender and juicy.

These chicken thighs are perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion.
