1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

# Instructions:

Mix together your olive oil, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until well combined.

Place those chicken thighs in a large bowl and pour your marinade over them. Let them soak up all those Greek flavors in the fridge for 1 to 2 hours, or up to 8 hours if you've got the time.

When you're ready to cook, get your oven heating to 350°F (180°C). Transfer the chicken to a baking dish and pour any remaining marinade right over the top.

Pop your chicken in the oven for 40-45 minutes, until it reaches 175°F (80°C) internally. For extra flavor, baste occasionally with the pan juices. Want crispy skin? Turn on the broiler for the last 2-3 minutes.
