For more citrusy chicken recipes, try our lemon garlic chicken marinade, tangy lemon chicken, or lemon chicken orzo soup! It’s a bright and herby chicken dish that’s big on flavor, quick to make, and easy to clean up. Does it get any better? To make it, simply mix all the marinade ingredients together. Toss the chicken thighs in the marinade right in the baking dish, then bake it until it’s cooked golden. Serve it with some minced parsley and lemon slices and dinner is ready. To save time, you can easily prepare this dish up to a day ahead. Simply toss the chicken thighs in the marinade, then cover the baking dish and pop it in the fridge overnight. This gives the marinade lots of time to work its magic (just be sure not to leave it longer than 24 hours). Enjoy this flavorful lemon rosemary roasted chicken on a bed of fluffy rice or mashed potatoes along with your favorite vegetable sides. The leftovers taste great in a grain bowl or stuffed into a sandwich the next day, too!
Lemon juice – fresh lemon juice is always best for that bright citrus pop of flavor. Olive oil and melted butter – for making the marinade and keeping the chicken moist and juicy. Rosemary – we use fresh rosemary, but dried rosemary also works too. Sea salt + Garlic – for lots of flavor. Chicken thighs – we use bone-in chicken thighs, but you can use boneless thighs or chicken breasts if you prefer. Just be sure to refer to the notes in the recipe card for cooking times.
Vegetable sides that pair well with lemon rosemary chicken:
