Method

Prepare the Chimichurri Sauce:
- In a bowl, combine the chopped parsley, coriander, minced garlic, red onion, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes.
- Slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil while stirring continuously until the sauce is well combined.
- Season the chimichurri sauce with salt and black pepper to taste. Set aside.
Prepare the Chicken Thighs:
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan/gas mark 6).
- Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Season both sides of the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper.
Sear the Chicken Thighs:
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in an ovenproof frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the chicken thighs skin-side down and sear for about 4-5 minutes or until the skin is crispy and golden brown.
- Flip the chicken thighs and sear the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Bake the Chicken:
- Pour the prepared chimichurri sauce over the seared chicken thighs in the skillet.
- Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken thighs reach an internal temperature of 75°C (165°F).
Serve:
- Once cooked, remove the pan from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
- Spoon some of the chimichurri sauce over the chicken before serving.
- Serve the chimichurri chicken thighs hot, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
