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