Rub olive oil over the chicken, then coat each piece evenly with the seasoning mix. Bake to perfection: Arrange the chicken thighs in a baking dish, skin side up. Place lemon slices around and on top of the chicken. Roast for 35–40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). For extra crispy skin, broil for 2–3 minutes at the end. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle fresh parsley on top before serving. Enjoy with a side of roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
