Ingredients
- 4 chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade. Add the chicken thighs to the bowl, ensuring they are evenly coated with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for maximum flavor.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the marinated chicken thighs on a baking sheet, skin side up. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
