Servings: 4 people
Equipment
- 1 casserole dish This set of nesting casserole dishes is fantastic!
Ingredients
- 6 chicken thighs
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 garlic gloves minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a small bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to make the marinade.
- Place the chicken thighs in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Mix them with the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Then, refrigerate for 30 minutes to 4 hours.
- Remove the marinated chicken thighs from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
- Place chicken thighs in a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Once cooked, remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- Use chicken thighs that are similar in size so they cook evenly.
- You can also bake this in a large cast iron skillet if you prefer.
- I always recommend fresh lemon and garlic over the pre-packaged kind.
