Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lb boneless, skinless chicken thigh
- 1/2 cup extra virgin oil
- juice of 2 large lemons plus 8-10 slices of lemon
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 4 cloves of garlic, chopped
- 8–10 clove garlic, whole
- 3 tbsp oregano
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Pat dry chicken thighs and place into a baking dish or a rimmed baking sheet.
- Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides.
- In a separate bowl mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, onions and garlic.
- Add the lemon onion mixture to the chicken and coat evenly.
- 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.
- Serve with cauliflower rice and a side green salad. And don’t forget to add a spoonful of the crispy onion/lemon mixture.
