Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice, 4 minced garlic cloves, 2 tsp dried oregano, 1 1/2 tsp sea salt, and 1 tsp black pepper until well combined.
  2. Step 2: Add 6 bone-in chicken thighs to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Let marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Arrange the marinated chicken thighs skin side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Scatter 1/2 cup pitted Kalamata olives around the chicken.
  4. Step 4: Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes until the chicken skin is golden and juices run clear when pierced.
  5. Step 5: Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese and 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley over the hot chicken. Serve warm.
