Chicken Oreganata
Description
Chicken oreganata combines the bold flavors of lemon and oregano in a simple baked chicken thigh dish that takes all of five minutes to prepare.
Ingredients
•
1/4 cup olive oil
•
1/2 lemon, juiced
•
2 teaspoons dried oregano
•
salt and pepper to taste
•
7 chicken thighs
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Whisk oil and lemon juice together.
2
Mix oregano with salt and pepper to taste. Rub well over all chicken pieces. Place into the prepared baking dish and drizzle with 1/2 of the oil-lemon mixture.
3
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Turn chicken pieces and drizzle with remaining oil-lemon mixture. Bake until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 15 to 20 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
