Ingredients
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels.
  2. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, rosemary, thyme, oregano, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Add chicken thighs and toss to coat well. Let marinate for at least 10 minutes while oven heats.
  3. Arrange chicken thighs skin-side up in a large oven-safe skillet or roasting pan. Scatter cherry tomatoes around the chicken.
  4. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, until chicken skin is crisp and golden and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove chicken and tomatoes to a platter; tent loosely with foil.
  5. Pour off excess fat from the pan, leaving about 1 tablespoon. Place pan over medium heat and add white wine. Scrape up any brown bits. Simmer for 2 minutes, then add chicken broth.
  6. Simmer until sauce is reduced by half, about 3-4 minutes. Swirl in butter. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  7. Pour the pan sauce over the chicken and tomatoes. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
