Preparation

Marinade Preparation

1. Prepare the Marinade

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, paprika, and honey until well combined.

2. Marinate the Chicken

Place the chicken thighs and breasts into a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best flavor.

Cooking the Chicken

3. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

4. Arrange Chicken in Baking Dish

Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it skin-side up in a large baking dish. Discard any remaining marinade.

5. Bake the Chicken

Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is crispy and golden brown.

Serving

6. Garnish and Serve

Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
