Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken thighs
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 cloves Fresh garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and ground black pepper. Stir well to mix all the ingredients together, creating a marinade.
Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the marinade. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 10 minutes at room temperature. If you have more time, cover and refrigerate the chicken to marinate for up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.
Once marinated, transfer the chicken thighs to a baking dish, skin-side up, and pour any remaining marinade over the top.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and roast the chicken for approximately 35 to 40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). The skin should be golden and slightly crisp.
Remove the baking dish from the oven. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving to add a pop of color and fresh flavor.
Serve warm, accompanied by your choice of sides such as a Greek salad or roasted vegetables.
