- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 4 cloves of garlic, chopped
- 8–10 clove garlic, whole

- In a separate bowl mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, onions and garlic.

- Place chicken in a single layer and scatter the garlic cloves and lemon slices over the chicken.
- Bake at 400 degrees for 35-45 minutes or until juices run clear (internal temperature of 170°F for thighs). If the skin is not a deep golden brown and crispy, broil chicken for a few minutes to crisp and brown the top.
