This recipe might be one of my favourite ways to each chicken thighs. My mom has been making this dish for a few years now and she thinks she watched a version of this recipe from Daphne Oz. When I asked her for the recipe I was shocked at how simple it was! The herbs in this recipe infuse the chicken with an incredible flavour and the roasted garlic takes it up a notch. Feel free to use any herbs you may have on hand for this one. Some of my favs for this recipe are: rosemary, oregano, sage and thyme.
