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.
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, chopped capers, and chopped rosemary. Add the olive oil and mix well to form a paste.
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.
Rub the rosemary and caper mixture evenly over the chicken thighs. Make sure each piece is well coated with the seasoning paste.
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.
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.
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.
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!
