  • 4 cloves fresh garlic (finely minced)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary (chopped)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme (chopped)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (helps herbs and garlic cling to chicken)
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt (enhances natural flavors)
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (balances the dish)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (brightens flavor)
  • 2 tablespoons butter (melts over chicken for rich flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional, adds smoky depth)

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Mix garlic, herbs, olive oil, salt, pepper, lemon zest, and paprika in a bowl.
  • Rub the mixture onto the chicken thighs evenly.
