Ingredients

  • 3 lbs chicken thighs bone-in, skin-on
  • ⅓ cup avocado oil
  • ¼ cup lemon juice fresh

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add all of the ingredients for the Greek Chicken to a zip lock bag and seal. Shift the contents of the bag around until everything is evenly distributed. Refrigerate at least 1 hour, up to 24 hours.
  2. When you’re ready to bake, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  3. Transfer the chicken thighs (including the marinade) to a large casserole dish and arrange it in a single layer.
  4. Bake for 40 minutes then bump the oven temperature up to 420 degrees F and bake another 5 to 10 minutes, or until the skin on the chicken is golden-brown and crispy.
  5. Serve with your choice of side dishes and enjoy!

Notes

  • *You can also use boneless skinless chicken thighs, drumsticks, or chicken breasts
  • **Yogurt is a meat tenderizer! If you'd like, you can add it to the marinade for additional tangy flavor and an even more tender result.
