• 3.5 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs
• Juice of 1 lemon
• Zest of 1 lemon
• 1 tbsp salt
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 1 tbsp onion powder

• Then place chicken into the marinade. Marinate overnight.
• Preheat the oven on broil to the highest setting (usually 525 degrees F). Place chicken onto a baking sheet in one even layer, allowing space between chicken thighs.
• Place chicken in the oven about 6 inches from the top broiler/flame. Broil for 18-20 minutes until chicken is just cooked through, rotating as needed to prevent burning.
• Remove and serve.
