Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, combine 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice, 2 tsp dried oregano, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 1/2 tsp salt, and 1 tsp black pepper. Add 6 bone-in chicken thighs and toss to coat evenly. Let marinate for 15 minutes at room temperature.
  2. Step 2: Arrange the marinated chicken thighs skin-side up on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 35-40 minutes until the skin is golden and juices run clear when pierced.
  3. Step 3: While the chicken roasts, prepare the yogurt sauce by mixing 1 cup plain Greek yogurt with 1/2 cup finely grated cucumber (squeeze excess moisture), 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill, and 1 tsp lemon zest. Stir until well combined and refrigerate until serving.
  4. Step 4: Remove the chicken from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving alongside the chilled Greek yogurt sauce.
