This recipe is incredibly simple. By putting all the ingredients in a bag, sort of like a marinade – the chicken becomes nice and flavorful. When it bakes it comes out crispy and tasty!
Ingredients:
6 chicken thighs
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons garlic salt
pepper to taste
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 lemon, juiced (or 1/4 cup bottled lemon juice)
Wash and pat dry chicken. Put all ingredients into a freezer bag and let sit to marinate. 6-8 hours is best. I usually do it in the morning before I leave for work, then it’s ready to cook by the time I come home.
When you are ready, to cook, preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top.
Place the marinated chicken on top of the wire rack and bake for 50 minutes.
Let rest for a bit, then you are ready to serve!
Also, kids love this. It’s crispy and tasty and an all around good meal.
Kid's lunches, simple dinners and a whole lot of geeky baking.
I’ll have to say that I do my chicken the same, sans the plastic bag though. Didn’t think to do it that way, must make a note to self. And it certainly is a big hit with the kids! How come you took the star ratings away?
Doh! I forgot to take the chicken out of the freezer so I could make this! oh well – tomorrow. This recipe looked so yummy and easy that I sent it to a friend of mine who could really use it and they can’t wait to try it! I’ll let you know how it goes.
Just made this last night, and it was very “ono.” My 4 y.o. son really loved it, and my husband liked it, too. I liked how it came out really crispy and tasty on the outside and soft and juicy on the inside. Also, it was so easy to make! I need more recipes like that.
Last night was the second time I made this and I LOVE this recipe. Commuting home after work and having to cook dinner in addition to some cleaning, this recipe hits the spot. It’s so darn easy and with your foil tip – my husband loves the clean up! I did this recipe with boneless thighs and it still turns out great! This is officially in the dinner lineup for our house – thanks for saving me time with such a yummy and simple recipe!
Made this for the first time last week – my hubby has asked for twice already in the same week. Delicious!
This chicken was heavenly. It was flavorful and juicy. Couldn’t have been easier! Love, love, love it!
Yes, my son loved this chicken! I had to leave them in the oven much longer than the recipe calls for, but it was worth it to be able to eat the skin…mmmmmmmm! One of the easiest recipes ever, with such a great result!
My family is oohing and ahhing over it right now! Thanks for another great recipe
