Ingredients
- 4-8 chicken thighs (I use bone-in, skin on, but you can use any chicken you like: boneless, skinless thighs or even breast)
- 4-6 cloves chopped garlic
- juice of one lemon (at least)
- 1 T dried oregano
- 1 t salt
- 1 t pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F degrees (375F for breasts).
- Combine garlic, lemon, oregano, salt and pepper in a small bowl.
- Rinse off chicken and dry off. Put your chicken in a baking dish skin side down. Spoon small amount of mixture over each thigh, then turn them all over and do the same with the rest of your mixture.
- If you like your food well-seasoned, sprinkle each thigh with more salt and pepper, as I do. Do not cover.
- Bake for approx 30 minutes or until you can pierce with a knife and the juices are clear. The chicken should brown nicely on top.
Notes
Serve with my rice pilaf (link) and broccoli or green beans.
