Ingredients
- 4 chicken thighs (bone-in or boneless)
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- Juice of 2 lemons
- 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (such as oregano or thyme)

- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, fresh herbs, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl to make the marinade.

- Grease a baking dish lightly or line it with foil, then place the marinated chicken thighs in the dish in a single layer.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
For best flavor, marinate for up to 2 hours. Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken is cooked perfectly.
