Marinade

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Whisk until well combined.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Place the chicken thighs in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. 4

    Prepare the Baking Dish

    Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

  3. 5

    Bake the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade, shaking off excess marinade. Place the chicken thighs in the prepared baking dish, skin side up. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is crispy.

  4. 6

    Rest and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs or lemon wedges if desired.
