Greek Inspired Lemon Chicken

Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 8 bone-in chicken thighs
  • 2 Tbsps extra-virgin olive oil or avocado oil
  • juice and zest of 1 fresh lemon
  • 5 fresh garlic cloves pressed
  • 2 Tbsps dried oregano
  • 2 Tbsps Dijon mustard
  • sea salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional garnish: fresh lemon slices and chopped fresh parsley or dill

Instructions

  • Pat chicken dry using a paper towel.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the oil, lemon juice, zest, garlic, oregano, mustard, sea salt, and pepper.
  • Add your chicken to a baking dish, large enough to fit them all in a single layer without overlapping. Drizzle chicken with your marinade and rub them to coat well on all sides.
  • Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator (Or, if time allows, cover and refrigerate overnight).
  • Once ready to bake, remove your chicken from the fridge and preheat your oven to 350 degrees f.
  • If desired, tuck a few fresh lemon slices around your chicken and sprinkle with fresh herbs, as shown.
  • Bake your chicken for 45 minutes, or until the inside of each chicken thigh reads 165 degrees f.
