¼ cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed for the best flavor)

¼ cup olive oil

2 tablespoons EACH: minced fresh oregano, thyme, and rosemary (or sub 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning)

1 teaspoon EACH: sea salt and pepper

2 cloves garlic (minced)

Instructions

Make the marinade

Combine the lemon juice, olive oil, oregano, thyme, rosemary, salt, pepper, and garlic into a small bowl.

Marinate the chicken

Place the chicken in a shallow bowl or baking dish and pour the marinade over the top. Mix it around a little so that all the pieces are coated in the marinade. Cover the bowl then put it into your fridge to marinate for 30 minutes - 24 hours.

Cook the chicken

Bake: Put the chicken and all of the marinade into a shallow baking dish. Bake at 425 degrees Fahrenheit, uncovered, for 15 minutes for boneless thighs, 20-25 minutes for breast, and 35-40 minutes for bone-in thighs.

Grill: Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill over medium heat for 10 minutes for boneless thighs, 18-22 minutes for breast, and 30-35 minutes (over indirect heat) for bone-in thighs.

Optional: freeze the chicken

Freeze

Put the raw chicken into freezer bags then pour the marinade over the top. Squish the bag around a little so that the chicken is coated in the marinade then seal the bag and put it into your freezer.
