1-Getting started with Greek lemon chicken thighs is simple and rewarding. Begin by mixing the marinade to lock in those vibrant flavors. Follow these steps to create a dish that’s juicy and full of taste.

2-First, prepare the marinade by combining 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil, 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 2 teaspoons dried oregano, 2 teaspoons dried thyme, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper in a bowl. This creates a zesty base that coats the chicken beautifully.

3-Next, place the 8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs in a large bowl and pour the marinade over them. Toss to ensure even coverage and let it sit in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) while the chicken marinates.

4-Then, arrange the chicken thighs skin side up in a baking dish and add any leftover marinade on top. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until the internal temperature hits 175°F (80°C), basting occasionally for extra moisture. For a crispier finish, broil for 2 to 3 minutes at the end.
