6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
4 garlic cloves, minced
Juice of 1 lemon
Zest of 1 lemon
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley (for garnish)
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, oregano, salt, and pepper.
Place chicken thighs in a baking dish and rub them with the garlic lemon mixture.
Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes, or until skin is crispy and chicken is cooked through (internal temp should be 165°F/74°C).
Garnish with chopped parsley and a squeeze of fresh lemon before serving.
Marinate the chicken for 1 hour (or overnight) for deeper flavor.
Use a meat thermometer to check for perfect doneness.
Pair with roasted potatoes or a simple green salad.
