1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Chicken Thighs:
- Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and place them in a large baking dish or oven-safe skillet.
- In a small bowl, mix together minced garlic, olive oil, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper.
- Rub the garlic herb mixture evenly over the chicken thighs.
3. Roast the Chicken:
- Place the baking dish or skillet in the preheated oven and roast the chicken thighs for 35-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the skin is crispy and golden brown.
4. Make the Parmesan Gravy:
- While the chicken is roasting, prepare the Parmesan gravy. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Once the butter is melted, whisk in the flour to form a roux. Cook the roux for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Slowly pour in the chicken broth while whisking continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the gravy has thickened slightly.
- Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
5. Serve:
- Once the chicken thighs are cooked through and crispy, remove them from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes.
- Serve the garlic roasted chicken thighs hot, drizzled with the Parmesan gravy.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
