Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F and lightly grease a baking dish or oven-safe skillet.

    In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, parsley, thyme, oregano, salt, black pepper, and paprika.

  3. 3

    Add the chicken thighs and toss well so each piece is evenly coated in the marinade.

  4. 4

    Let the chicken marinate for 20 to 30 minutes at room temperature, or cover and refrigerate for longer if desired.

  5. 5

    Arrange the chicken thighs in a single layer in the prepared baking dish and pour any remaining marinade over the top.

  6. 6

    Dot the butter around the chicken for extra richness in the pan juices.

  7. 7

    Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the chicken reaches 165°F internally and the tops are lightly golden.
