Description

The best Greek Chicken Marinade recipe that is packed with flavor and perfect no matter how you are cooking!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1/3 cup avocado oil (sub extra virgin olive oil)
  • 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
  • 2 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 4 teaspoons dried oregano leaves
  • 1/8 teaspoon dried coriander
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon marjoram
  • 4 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons dijon mustard

Instructions

  1. Mix: Combine ingredients in a small bowl. Whisk to combine.
  2. Prep Chicken: Pat chicken thighs dry (trim excess skin, if necessary) and place in a reusable silicone bag or glass container.
  3. Marinate: Pour marinade over top and ensure chicken is fully coated. Seal/cover and place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or overnight. 
  4. Cook Chicken: option to make cast iron chicken thighs, grilled chicken thighs or smoked chicken thighs.
  5. Serve: Let meat rest and then serve any way you want!

Notes

  • Boneless chicken thighs: you can also use boneless chicken thighs if you prefer in place of the bone-in and skin-on. 
  • Storage: discard any excess marinade – store leftover cooked chicken thighs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Serving: we love using the chicken to make these delicious Hummus Bowls
