• 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
• 1 tablespoon chopped thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon Celtic Sea salt
• 4 bone-in, skin-on organic chicken thighs
• 2 tablespoons ghee , melted (or duck fat for dairy-free)

3. Brush each chicken thigh (bottom and top of thigh) with ghee and place on the wire rack.
4. Roast the chicken until the skin is golden brown and crisp and a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken, but not touching the bone registers 165ºF, about 20-25 minutes. Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Serve.
