Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in a large resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
