Ingredients

Units Scale

Marinade:

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Chicken:

  • 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  2. 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.
  3. Grill the Chicken: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  4. Rest and Serve: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley and enjoy!

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can add a squeeze of lemon juice to the marinade.
  • Make sure to pat the chicken thighs dry before grilling to help achieve crispy skin.
