Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a frying pan over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil, and sauté 1 cup of Castelvetrano olives, zest of 1 orange, zest of 1 lemon, and 2 minced garlic cloves for about 3 minutes until fragrant. Then, stir in 1 segmented orange, 2 tablespoons of orange juice, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and fold in ¼ cup each of chopped fresh parsley and basil. Cook for another minute until heated through.
- In a large bowl, mix together 4-6 chicken thighs, 4 minced garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, and ½ teaspoon of cracked black pepper. Ensure the chicken is well coated in the marinade. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, ideally overnight.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup, and place the marinated chicken thighs skin-side up on the sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for approximately 35 minutes.
- Once the chicken is roasted, baste it with the pan juices to keep it moist. Switch the oven setting to broil on high and broil for 2-3 minutes.
- Carefully plate your Herb Roasted Chicken alongside the warm Olive and Citrus Salsa and serve.
