Description

A flavorful Greek dish featuring tender chicken thighs marinated in a zesty lemon and herb mixture.


Ingredients

  • 4 chicken thighs
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  3. Coat the chicken thighs in the marinade and let sit for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Place the marinated chicken thighs in a baking dish and pour any remaining marinade over them.
  5. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.
  6. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

For a stronger lemon flavor, increase the lemon juice slightly. If the chicken isn’t browning as expected, briefly broil at the end of cooking.
