Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, combine 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice, 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, 2 tbsp chopped fresh oregano leaves, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Add 6 bone-in chicken thighs and toss thoroughly to coat. Let marinate for 15 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Arrange the chicken thighs skin-side up on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes until the skin is golden and juices run clear, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F.
  3. Step 3: While chicken roasts, mix 1 cup plain Greek yogurt with 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese and 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill in a small bowl until creamy. Chill until ready to serve.
  4. Step 4: Serve the roasted chicken thighs hot, spooning the tangy feta yogurt sauce over each piece to add a refreshing, savory balance.
