Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400&# 194;°F (200ðC) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
  2. Pat the skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs dry with paper towels to ensure the skin gets crispy.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the minced garlic with a little olive oil and salt to create a paste.
  4. Rub the garlic mixture evenly over the chicken thighs, ensuring you get under the skin where possible.
  5. Arrange the chicken thighs skin-side up on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece.
  6. Roast in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165ðF (74ðC) and the skin is golden brown.
  7. While the chicken cooks, prepare the Coconut Rice according to its package or recipe instructions.
  8. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes after removing from the oven to allow juices to redistribute.
  9. Serve the hot chicken thighs over a bed of creamy coconut rice and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
