This easy lemon thyme chicken thighs recipe is perfect for a weeknight dinner! The lemon, garlic and herbs are stuffed underneath the skin and then the chicken is rubbed with ghee and roasted until crispy.

The lemon helps off-set the richness of the chicken thighs. So, if chicken thighs are sometimes too rich for you, this is a good dish to try out!

Pairing this chicken with some roasted vegetables or a salad would be a great way to round out the meal.
