Enjoy juicy, crispy chicken thighs infused with fresh herbs and garlic, perfect for a flavorful keto meal.

4 pieces bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (ensures extra juiciness and crispy skin when roasted)
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.
Place chicken on a baking sheet and bake for 40 minutes until crispy and cooked through.
Remove from oven, top with butter, and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken with herbs and garlic overnight.
