Method

Marinating the Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare 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 blended.

  2. 2

    Marinate Chicken

    Add the chicken legs and thighs to the bowl with the marinade. Ensure that each piece is well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.

Baking the Chicken

  1. 3

    Preheat Oven

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

  2. 4

    Prepare Baking Dish

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it in a large baking dish. Pour any remaining marinade over the chicken.

  3. 5

    Bake Chicken

    Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 75°C).

Serving

  1. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Once baked, remove the chicken from the oven. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
