Garlic Herb Roasted Chicken Thighs

Today, we're diving into the sinful world of juicy Garlic Herb Roasted Chicken Thighs. Why this recipe? Well, fuck, because chicken thighs are the superior cut of the bird - juicy, flavorful, and undeniably delicious. And when you add garlic and herbs into the mix, you've got a dish that'll make you want to slap your mama.

Furious Rant: Poultry Packaging

Let's talk about those slimy, slippery, goddamn poultry packages. Seriously, who the fuck designed these things? You need a goddamn chainsaw to open them without getting raw chicken juice all over your kitchen. And don't get me started on those misleading "easy open" tabs that might as well be made of titanium. The struggle is real, my friends.

Ingredients:

• 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (because boneless, skinless is for amateurs)
• 6 cloves of garlic, minced (if you use pre-minced garlic, I will find you)
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil (get the good shit, none of that vegetable oil crap)
• 1 tablespoon of fresh rosemary, chopped (dried rosemary is a sad excuse for a spice)
• 1 tablespoon of fresh thyme leaves (none of that powdered thyme nonsense)
• Salt and pepper, to taste (don't be stingy, season that chicken like you mean it)

Recipe:

1. Preheat your fucking oven to 400°F (200°C) because we're about to make magic happen.

2. In a bowl, mix together the minced garlic, olive oil, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. Let those flavors get to know each other while you prepare the chicken.

3. Pat your chicken thighs dry with a goddamn paper towel. We want that skin to crisp up like it owes you money.

4. Rub the herb-garlic mixture all over the chicken thighs, making sure to get under the skin because flavor waits for no one.

5. Place the chicken thighs on a baking sheet, skin-side up, and roast them in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes. You want that skin to be crispy and golden, like a fucking treasure.

6. Once the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crispier than your ex's attitude, pull it out of the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. This step is crucial, so don't fuck it up.

7. Serve those Garlic Herb Roasted Chicken Thighs with a side of roasted veggies or mashed potatoes. Or just eat them straight off the pan like the savage you are. No judgment here.

What the hell are you waiting for?

Get off your lazy ass and start cooking these Garlic Herb Roasted Chicken Thighs before I come over there and do it for you. Your taste buds will thank you, you ungrateful fool.
