Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F.
In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper.
Place the chicken thighs or breasts in a baking dish, then pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring even coverage.
Bake for 35-45 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and juices run clear.
For an added touch, broil for a few minutes at the end for a golden, crispy skin.
Remove from the oven, let rest for a few minutes, then garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

For best results, marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes or overnight. Use fresh lemons for better flavor.
