Easy Baked Lemon Chicken is a dinnertime superhero. With only 4 ingredients, it will be in the oven and baking in 5 minutes flat. Crispy, crackly skin and juicy meat - an absolute favorite around here!
Combine all ingredients together in a container and mix thoroughly.
Preheat oven to 425F with the rack in the middle. Line a rimmed baking sheet or baking dish with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Trim the chicken skin and fat, leaving only enough to cover the thigh meat.
Add the chicken thighs to a large bowl, then massage the 2 tbsp of lemon pepper seasoning, 2 tbsp nonflavored oil and 1 1/2 tbsp of kosher salt into the chicken making sure that it's evenly coating both the bottom and the top of each chicken thigh piece.
Transfer the chicken thighs to a rimmed baking sheet, then sprinkle the remaining 1/2 tsp kosher salt over the tops of the skin. Place in the oven and bake for about 1 hour or until the chicken is tender, easily pierced with a fork and the juices run clear.
Transfer to a serving plate if desired, sprinkle with chopped parsley, slices of lemon and serve.
