INGREDIENTS
1 piece Chicken Thigh (bone-in, skin-on) (~170g)
1 cup Fresh Asparagus (~134g)
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil (for chicken)
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil (for asparagus)
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Lemon Zest
1 clove Garlic, minced
1 tsp Fresh Thyme, chopped
1 tsp Fresh Rosemary, chopped
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, whisk together 1 teaspoon of olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, chopped thyme, chopped rosemary, salt, and pepper.
Pat the chicken thigh dry with a paper towel. Rub the lemon-herb mixture thoroughly over the chicken, ensuring its skin is well-coated for extra crispiness.
Place the chicken thigh on the baking sheet. Toss the asparagus with the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper, and arrange them in a single layer around the chicken.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken skin is crispy and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). The asparagus should be tender and lightly charred.
Remove from the oven and allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your crispy lemon-herb baked chicken thigh alongside roasted asparagus.
