Lemon Oregano Grilled Chicken
Lemons, oregano, olive oil, and garlic marinate chicken thighs with the flavors of Greece to make for an easy summer grilling dinner.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 lemon zest and juice
- 2 tbsp fresh oregano finely chopped
- 4 cloves garlic peeled and finely chopped
- ¼ c extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp fine sea salt
- 1 ½ lb boneless skinless chicken thighs
Instructions
- Mix all marinade ingredients together in a medium bowl. Add chicken thighs to the bowl with the marinade and use your hands to coat chicken thighs completely with marinade. Cover and transfer to the refrigerator for 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
- Prepare the grill to medium-high heat and oil grates with extra-virgin olive oil. Add the chicken to the grill and cook until well-browned and easily releases from the grates, 4-6 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until the thickest part of the thigh registers 165°F at its thickest part, another 4-5 minutes. Transfer cooked chicken to a plate and let sit 5 minutes before serving.
- Serve with pitas, a big Greek salad, tzatziki sauce, and pitas.
