This recipe is packed with flavor, thanks to a 30-minute marinade that infuses chicken thighs with a bright, herby mixture that tastes like sunshine. The marinade also locks moisture inside the meat, ensuring the chicken stays tender and juicy while it cooks.<\/p>\n<p>This Greek lemon chicken recipe can be served as an easy weeknight dinner or as part of a spread of meat and veggies for a backyard barbecue. The chicken tastes fantastic as a meaty main dish with a side of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/roasted-greek-potatoes-with-feta-cheese\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/roasted-greek-potatoes-with-feta-cheese\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">roasted Greek potatoes<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/lemon-rice-pilaf\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/lemon-rice-pilaf\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">lemon rice pilaf<\/a>.

The dark meat stays juicier than white meat chicken, and the bone regulates the temperature of the chicken for even cooking. Bone-in thighs take longer to cook than boneless thighs, so adjust the cooking time if you make any substitutions.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lemons:<\/strong> Acid (like lemon juice) is one of the three major components when you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-make-marinade\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-make-marinade\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">make a marinade<\/a>. The acidic component tenderizes the meat by breaking down the muscle fibers. Our marinade also uses lemon zest to add a bold punch of citrusy flavor and aroma. (Here&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-zest-a-lemon-3-easy-ways\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-zest-a-lemon-3-easy-ways\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">how to zest a lemon<\/a>, with or without a zester.)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Olive oil:<\/strong> Fat (like olive oil) is the second component of a good marinade. It transfers flavor from the seasonings into the chicken and helps the meat retain moisture as it cooks.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Marinade seasonings:<\/strong> Flavor (like herbs and spices) is the final marinade component. We use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/mediterranean-diet-herbs\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/mediterranean-diet-herbs\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">Mediterranean spices<\/a> like garlic, oregano, paprika, coriander, salt and pepper to add herbaceous, savory and slightly spicy elements.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Make the lemon chicken marinade<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1988002\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Greek-Lemon-Chicken_FT24_275905_ST_0426_1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Ingredients in small bowl ready for mixing\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>In a small bowl, whisk the lemon zest, juice, olive oil, garlic, oregano, paprika, coriander, salt and pepper until blended.
