1
Make the Marinade
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, fresh lemon juice, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well combined.
2
Marinate the Chicken
Add the chicken thighs to the marinade. Ensure each piece is well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.

3
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F (200°C). If using charcoal, ensure the coals are hot and covered with ash.
4
Grill the Chicken
Remove the chicken thighs from the marinade and discard any leftover marinade. Place the chicken skin-side down on the grill. Grill for about 7-8 minutes, then flip and grill for another 7-8 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
5
Rest and Serve
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. This helps to keep the chicken juicy.
