Ingredients
- Bone-in Chicken Thighs: 4-6 pieces, skin-on for maximum juiciness
- Olive Oil: 2 tbsp
- Garlic: 4 cloves, minced
- Fresh Thyme: 1 tsp
- Fresh Rosemary: 1 tsp
- Salt: 1 tsp
- Black Pepper: ½ tsp
- Lemon Juice: 2 tbsp
For the Marinade:

Instructions
- 1. Preheat Your Oven
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

- In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, lemon juice, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- 3. Marinate the Chicken
