1
Prepare the Marinade
In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
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 that all pieces are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably 4 hours or overnight for best flavor.

3
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 450°F).
4
Grill the Chicken
Remove the chicken thighs from the marinade and let the excess marinade drip off. Place the chicken thighs skin-side down on the grill. Grill for about 5-7 minutes, then flip and grill the other side for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
5
Rest and Serve
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. This helps the juices redistribute for a more tender bite.
