Ingredients
Scale
4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
1 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Juice of 1 lemon
Instructions
In a bowl, combine the chopped parsley, olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Mix well and set aside.
Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in a large zip-top bag or a shallow dish. Pour half of the chimichurri sauce over the chicken, ensuring they are well coated. Reserve the remaining sauce for serving.
Chill: Seal the bag or cover the dish, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. For best results, marinate for a few hours or overnight.
Preheat the Oven: When ready to cook, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare the Chicken for Baking: Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it skin-side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake the Chicken: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the skin is crispy and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Drizzle with the reserved chimichurri sauce and enjoy!
