Chimichurri Chicken Thighs: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe for Everyone

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Preheat the Oven: When ready to cook, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  8. Drizzle with the reserved chimichurri sauce and enjoy!
