Ingredients
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for oiling the grill grates
1 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves, roughly chopped
Zest and juice of 2 lemons
4 large garlic cloves, finely grated
8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 2 1/2 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Green salad, for serving
Directions
- Prepare an outdoor grill for medium heat.
- Whisk the oil, oregano, lemon zest and juice and garlic in a large bowl. Add the chicken, toss to coat and set aside for 10 minutes at room temperature.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat dry and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.
- Lightly oil the grill grates and grill the chicken, skin-side down, until lightly charred, 2 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Cover the grill and cook until no longer pink near the bone and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the deepest part of each chicken thigh reads 165 degrees F, about 5 more minutes. Transfer to a platter and rest for at least 5 minutes before serving. Serve with a green salad.
