Best 5 Oven Baked Greek Chicken Thighs Recipes

GREEK LEMON-GARLIC CHICKEN THIGHS AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Combine lemon juice, chicken broth, olive oil, garlic, and oregano in a large resealable plastic bag. Add chicken, seal bag, and shake so chicken is well coated with marinade. Marinate in the refrigerator at least 2 hours or overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a 9x11-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
• Pour chicken and marinade into the prepared baking pan. Arrange potatoes around the chicken.
• Bake in the preheated oven until potatoes are tender and chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

GREEK ROASTED CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, container or sturdy zipper top bag, combine the olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, vinegar, oregano, salt and pepper. Stir to combine thoroughly, add the chicken, turn to coat well, the cover or seal and refrigerate for 12 to 24 hours (or even up to 2 days!).
• Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place on the baking sheet skin side up. Roast for about 40 minutes until cooked though, depending on the size of the thighs. Serve the roasted chicken hot, warm or cold.
