- Refrigerate and let chicken marinate at least 30 minutes up to overnight.
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Add chicken, lemons, garlic, and oregano to nonstick baking dish (I use an enamel baking dish since it is so easy to clean) with some marinade (about 2-3 tablespoons of marinade, not all of it).
- If adding more fresh oregano sprigs, place in dish.
- Bake, uncovered, for about 35 minutes - until chicken thighs are golden browned and 175 degrees F when a digital thermometer is inserted into the thickest part of chicken thigh.
- Remove from oven and let rest 5 minutes.
