Instructions

  • Make the Marinade In a small bowl, stir together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until fully combined.
  • Marinate the Chicken Add the chicken thighs to a large bowl and pour the marinade on top. Toss to coat every piece. Cover and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours, or up to 8 hours. Do not exceed 8 hours.
  • Preheat and Arrange Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Place the chicken skin side up in a single layer in a baking dish. Pour any remaining marinade on top.
  • Bake the Chicken Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 175°F (80°C). For crispy skin, turn on the broiler for the last 2 to 3 minutes. Watch closely.
