Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 6 cloves garlic crushed
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano I will often toss in a few sprigs of fresh oregano
  • 1 lemon sliced
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric
  • ½ teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 6 boneless skinless chicken thighs bone in or skin on ok - please see cooking time notes

Instructions

  • Remove chicken from packaging and pat dry. Set aside.
  • In a gallon plastic bag or large bowl, add all ingredients except for chicken and mix well to combine.
  • Add chicken to bag or bowl and cover to make airtight.
  • Refrigerate and let chicken marinate at least 30 minutes up to overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Add chicken, lemons, garlic, and oregano to nonstick baking dish (I use an enamel baking dish since it is so easy to clean) with some marinade (about 2-3 tablespoons of marinade, not all of it).
  • If adding more fresh oregano sprigs, place in dish.
  • Bake, uncovered, for about 35 minutes - until chicken thighs are golden browned and 175 degrees F when a digital thermometer is inserted into the thickest part of chicken thigh.
  • Remove from oven and let rest 5 minutes.
  • Serve and enjoy!
