Sage Roasted Chicken

Marinade In a bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped sage leaves, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well mixed.

2.Place the chicken thighs in a ziplock bag and pour the marinade over them. Close the bag and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.

Preparation Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

4.Remove the chicken thighs from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. Place the thighs in a baking dish.

Roasting Place a fresh sage leaf on each chicken thigh, then top with a slice of lemon. Place a sprig of thyme on top. Drizzle the melted butter over the chicken thighs.

6.Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown. Baste the chicken with the pan juices halfway through cooking.

Serve Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve hot with your favorite side dishes.
