Ingredients
  

  • 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
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 6 cloves garlic
  • 1/4 cup oil
  • 1 tsp red pepper flake optional

Instructions
 

  • Place lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, sugar, onion powder, garlic, and oil into a blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth. Then add in dried thyme and oregano.
  • 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.
