These roasted chicken thighs with fresh rosemary are a delight. I served them garnished with roasted Japanese squash seeds, Kabosha, and accompanied by roasted vegetables, also with rosemary.

Steps

Prep: 20 minutes Roasting: 40 minutes

1

Remove the seeds from the squash pulp and wash them well to remove any remaining pulp. Dry the seeds and mix them with the rest of the seasonings in a bowl. Place the seeds on a baking sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Roast them in the oven at 150°C/350°F for about 25-30 minutes. They should be crispy. Set aside.
2

Wash the chicken thighs and dry with a paper towel. If you cleaned the chicken in the sink, clean it well with soap to avoid contamination with other utensils or food. Remove excess fat and skin from the thighs.
Slightly open the meat that remains next to the thigh bone, remove and discard the vein.
3

In a bowl, mix all the seasonings with the oil and season the chicken thighs.
Place the thighs on a roasting sheet pan, skin-side up.
Preheat the oven to 450°F/232°C. Set the oven in convection to provide even heat distribution.
4

Roast the chicken for about 40 minutes. It should be golden brown and have a minimum internal temperature of 165°F/74°C.
Do not overcook it to prevent it from drying out. If desired, garnish with roasted Kabosha squash seeds. Serve immediately.
