  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: Serves approximately 4 people 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 bone-in chicken thighs
  • ⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • 4 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  2. Place the chicken thighs in a large mixing bowl and pour the marinade over them. Ensure each piece is thoroughly coated. Cover and marinate for 1 to 2 hours (or up to 8 hours for more flavor).
  3. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Transfer the marinated chicken to a baking dish and pour any remaining marinade over the top.
  4. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 175°F (80°C). For crispy skin, broil during the last few minutes. Garnish with lemon slices if desired.
