Chicken with rosemary and caper seasoning

Chicken with rosemary and caper seasoning is a delightful dish that brings together the bold flavors of rosemary and capers with tender and juicy chicken thighs. This recipe is easy to follow and results in a savory and aromatic meal that's perfect for dinner.

Ingredients:

2 garlic cloves
6g
2 tbsp capers
30g
1 tbsp rosemary
16g
2 tbsp olive oil
27g
8 chicken thighs
800g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Seasoning Mix:
In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, chopped capers, and chopped rosemary. Add the olive oil and mix well to form a paste.
3. Season the Chicken:
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. This helps to achieve a crispy skin. Season each thigh generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
4. Apply the Seasoning:
Rub the rosemary and caper mixture evenly over the chicken thighs. Make sure each piece is well coated with the seasoning paste.
5. Sear the Chicken:
Heat a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken thighs, skin-side down. Sear for about 5-7 minutes, until the skin is golden brown and crispy.
6. Bake the Chicken:
Flip the chicken thighs so they are skin-side up. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C) and the juices run clear.
7. Rest the Chicken:
Remove the skillet from the oven. Allow the chicken to rest for about 5 minutes before serving. This ensures the juices redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
8. Serve:
Transfer the chicken thighs to a serving platter. Garnish with a sprig of rosemary, if desired. Serve hot with your choice of side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh green salad.

Tips:

- For a more intense garlic flavor, you can mince the garlic cloves finely.

- If you prefer a stronger rosemary taste, crush the rosemary leaves slightly before adding them to the mix.

- For even cooking, make sure the chicken thighs are roughly the same size.

- Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors penetrate the meat.

- Bake the chicken skin-side up to achieve a crispy skin.

This Chicken with rosemary and caper seasoning recipe is a simple yet flavorful way to enjoy chicken thighs. The combination of garlic, capers, and rosemary creates a delicious and aromatic dish that's sure to impress. Follow these tips for the best results and enjoy your delicious meal!
