Description
This delicious recipe features bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs roasted to perfection with a zesty lemon and oregano marinade.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 lemons, zested and juiced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels.
- In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
- Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the marinade. Let marinate for 10 minutes if time allows.

- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges if desired.
Notes
- For extra flavor, marinate the chicken thighs longer, if possible.
- Serve with a side of roasted vegetables or rice.
