Ingredients

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 lemon, juiced plus lemon wedges for serving

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving

2 teaspoons dried oregano

1 ¼ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon dried thyme

½ teaspoon ground pepper

6 boneless skinless chicken thighs (1 ½ to 2 pounds)

Freshly chopped flat-leaf parsley, for garnish

Directions

Whisk garlic, lemon, olive oil, oregano, salt, thyme and pepper in a shallow baking dish.

Add the chicken and turn to coat in the marinade. Marinate for 2 to 8 hours.

Preheat grill to high heat. Drain the chicken and discard the marinade. Pat dry with paper towels.

Grill, turning occasionally until the chicken registers 165 degrees F when tested with an instant-read thermometer, 10 to 13 minutes.

Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, loosely tented with foil. Serve with parsley and lemon wedges and drizzle with additional olive oil if desired.
