    ⭐ Why this recipe is so good

    Juicy chicken thighs. Using chicken thighs gives so much flavor, and has the benefit of being a more affordable option than chicken breasts.

    Flavorful herbs. Rosemary and thyme recipes pack a punch with flavor, and it's very easy to grow your own in your back yard or windowsill if you like!

    Gluten free, dairy free and low histamine. We focus on herbs and honey to make this baked chicken, making it suitable for these dietary requirements as one of my many low histamine chicken recipes.

    🌿 Ingredients

    individually labelled ingredients to make baked rosemary thyme chicken including olive oil, garlic and honey.

    All the ingredients and their quantities are set out in the recipe card below.

    Some notes on a few of them:

    • Chicken - I suggest using chicken thighs for this recipe as they are flavorful, more budget friendly and won't dry out when baked in the oven.
    • Rosemary and thyme - choose fresh herbs if you can for their fragrant flavor!
    • Honey - you want to use liquid runny honey not set honey for this recipe.

    📖 Swaps and variations

    Swap fresh herbs for dried herbs. If you're in a pinch, dried herbs will work. Use about a third of the quantity as they are much more pungent.

    Simply bake the chicken. I've made this recipe without searing the chicken and simply baking in the oven. It's still flavorful, but doesn't have the same browning as seared chicken does.

    🔪 Step by step instructions

    Making this rosemary thyme chicken recipe is very simple, and has all easy steps.

    The full recipe instructions are set out in the recipe card below, but these images should help guide you:

    herbs and olive oil in a glass bowl with a spoon in it labelled number one.

    Step 1: Make the herb marinade

    Combine honey, olive oil, apple cider vinegar (if using), garlic, rosemary and thyme in a large bowl (image 1).

    chicken thighs and herbs in a glass bowl labelled number two.

    Step 2: Coat the chicken thighs

    Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and use your hands to coat in the herb marinade (image 2).

    chicken thighs in a light grey skillet labelled number three.

    Step 3: Sear the chicken thighs

    Drizzle olive oil in your skillet, then use tongs to place the chicken. Sear for 2-3 minutes each side so you have some browning (image 3).

    Step 4: Bake the herb chicken thighs

    Transfer the chicken thighs to an ovenproof dish and bake for 20-25 minutes until they reach an internal temperature of 165F (image 4).

    💭 Recipe tips and notes

    • Dice the rosemary quite finely. Pick the rosemary leaves from the woody stem, then dice finely as they are rather pungent.
    • Coat the chicken thighs evenly. Use your hands to coat the chicken pieces in the honey and herb marinade.
    • Marinate. You can leave the chicken thighs to marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes to a couple of hours if you like.
    • Check the temperature. Always use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 165F at the deepest point of the chicken thighs.
    • Adapt the herbs. If you're out or are looking for a swap, you may like to see my overview of low histamine herbs for more ideas!

    📋 Frequently asked questions

    Can I use just rosemary for this chicken recipe?

    You can easily just use rosemary, in which case you may like to use a little more. For another recipe, my pan fried rosemary chicken is easy and delicious!

    Do I have to sear the chicken before baking?

    It's optional to sear the chicken and you can just bake the chicken thighs without this step.

    Are these baked herb chicken thighs dairy free?

    Yes, they are dairy-free, gluten free and a low histamine chicken recipe.

    🍽 How to serve rosemary thyme chicken

    Baked herb chicken thighs can be served with either hot or cold sides:

    • Pair with my honey roasted vegetables, roasted asparagus and Brussels sprouts or my rosemary roasted sweet potatoes and zucchini that will bake in the oven alongside your chicken.
    • Serve with a side of my air fryer sweet potato wedges, or for a lower carb option my herb cauliflower rice.
    • For summer, a fresh and light salad is always tasty, so have a peek at my mango cucumber salad or my beetroot and broccoli salad.

    Equipment

    • Tongs
    • Ovenproof dish

    Ingredients
     
     

    • 2 tablespoon olive oil
    • 1 tablespoon honey
    • 3 garlic cloves
    • 1 tablespoon rosemary leaves finely diced
    • 1 tablespoon thyme fresh, or 1 teaspoon dried
    • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar optional
    • 4 large boneless skinless chicken thighs
    • pinch salt
    • pinch black pepper

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat the oven to 400F / 205C (unless marinating the chicken, in which case preheat just before cooking).
    • Combine the olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, honey and vinegar (optional) in a large bowl.
    • Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towel if required. Season with salt and black pepper, then place in the bowl with the marinade. If you wish, cover and set aside in the fridge to marinate for 30 minutes - 2 hours.
    • Drizzle olive oil in your skillet, and use tongs to place the chicken thighs. Sear the chicken for 2-3 minutes each side on a medium heat, or until you have some browning.
    • Use tongs to place the chicken thighs in an ovenproof dish, pouring any excess marinade over them.
    • Bake the chicken for 20-25 minutes, until they reach an internal temperature of 165F at their deepest point. Cook time will vary slightly depending upon the size of the chicken thighs.

    Notes

    • Dice the rosemary quite finely. Pick the rosemary leaves from the woody stem, then dice finely as they are rather pungent.
    • Coat the chicken thighs evenly. Use your hands to coat the chicken pieces in the honey and herb marinade.
    • Marinate. You can leave the chicken thighs to marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes to a couple of hours if you like.
    • Check the temperature. Always use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 165F at the deepest point of the chicken thighs.

    Hi, I’m Claire. After a diagnosis of MCAS I began to follow a low histamine diet, which has helped me manage my symptoms. Here I hope to show that a restrictive diet can still be full of flavourful meals, and help you enjoy being creative in the kitchen.
