What a lovely, flavourful, easy-to-make dish!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup lemon juice
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 6 garlic cloves, pressed
- 1 tbsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tsp kosher salt
- 4 lbs skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs
Instructions
- 1
Combine the lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, oregano, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in a large resealable bag. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

Remove the chicken pieces, dry them with paper towels, and place them on an aluminium foil-lined baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 30–40 minutes until cooked through. I recommend cooking to an internal temperature of 180°F (82°C)—at this temperature, the connective tissue found in a thigh breaks down nicely to make your chicken tender yet juicy.

Broil the chicken on high for about 3 minutes until it is a nice golden brown. Serve with lemon wedges and enjoy!
