Easy Greek Chicken
Fresh, herby lemon Greek Chicken is so simple yet satisfying! Make it any night of the week or for meal prep!
Ingredients
- 3 lbs bone-in skin-on chicken thighs*
- ⅓ cup avocado oil
- ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 Tbsp lemon zest
- 6 cloves garlic
- 1/3 cup fresh parsley finely chopped
- 2 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp sea salt to taste
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients for the Greek Chicken to a zip lock bag and seal. Shift the contents of the bag around until everything is evenly distributed. Refrigerate at least 1 hour, up to 24 hours.
- When you’re ready to bake, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Transfer the chicken thighs (including the marinade) to a large casserole dish and arrange it in a single layer.
- Bake for 40 minutes then bump the oven temperature up to 420 degrees F and bake another 5 to 10 minutes, or until the skin on the chicken is golden-brown and crispy.
- Serve with your choice of side dishes and enjoy!
Notes
*You can also use boneless skinless chicken thighs, drumsticks, or chicken breasts
**Yogurt is a meat tenderizer! If you'd like, you can add it to the marinade for additional tangy flavor and an even more tender result.
