Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • to taste Fresh parsley for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and place them in a large bowl.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, olive oil, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Mix well.
  4. Rub the garlic-Parmesan mixture all over the chicken thighs, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  5. Place the coated chicken thighs in a greased baking dish, skin-side up.
Cooking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the skin is crispy.
  2. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve hot.

Notes

For best results, pat the chicken dry before seasoning to achieve crispy skin. You can swap Parmesan for Grana Padano for a Halal-friendly option. Allow chicken to rest for 5-10 minutes after baking for juicy meat.
