GREEK LEMON CHICKEN is a must-make, super easy dinner recipe!

This lemon chicken recipe is all about juicy, tender, and golden-baked chicken thighs coated with the best lemon-herb Greek marinade. It's quick to prep, easy to cook, and the results are fantastic!

If there is one chicken recipe I could live off of, it's this Greek lemon chicken. I'm a sucker for skin-on chicken thighs given how naturally juicy and flavorful they are. Plus, I love how it's virtually impossible to overcook chicken thighs in the oven. But this bright and herby lemon chicken marinade is what makes this dish so satisfying.

Being Greek, my dad made this chicken, including peeled quartered potatoes for yummy oven-roasted potatoes with the same flavor. Love all your recipes and have made a few. 😃

I’ve got a recipe for this. Thinly sliced potatoes to line the bottom of your roasting pan, place chicken thighs on top, sprinkle generously with thyme, a bit of salt and pepper (to taste), scatter cubed butter lumps over the top, squeeze lemon juice over the entire thing, and bake. Baste chicken occasionally. Serve with some lemon zest and the sauce. I usually pair mine with broad beans.

Made this last night. My Wife said it was the best chicken I've ever made. We only tried it last night. Tonight I reheated it for dinner and made the basmati rice and green beans. Wow. Outstanding!! Thanks for the side dish recommendations. Loved it!!

I'm a Pakistani and I love this dish, not only me, but my wife and kids too, made it myself twice at home and it's just an amazing tantalising food experience.❤

My mom sent this video to me hoping I'd make it for dinner one night. Eating it as we speak - absolutely DIVINE. So delicious.... I added 1/3 cup lemon juice instead of 1/4 cup because I really wanted that lemon kick. I also added some rosemary that I grinded into a powder using my mortar and pestle. Oh my goodness, I cannot recommend this enough!!!! If you're on the fence about it, just give it a shot!

I just have to say....THANK YOU!!! My husband was literally amazed, the recipe was to the T perfect and we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner

I have noticed a pattern in my recipe searches and your channel comes up alot. Just ordered my cookbook and boy am I excited. I’ve made several recipes and they have never disappointed. THANK YOU 🙏

I’m made it a few times now. So good. I serve it with lemon potatoes, garlic, rosemary in oven.

I would like to offer another side dish for this chicken.. You take 4-8 potatoes (depends on how many you want to serve - even more if you need)...peel and cut each potato into 12 cube-sized pieces...put them in a casserole dish...add the juice of 1-2 fresh lemons...1-2 tablespoons of mustard...salt, pepper, oregano, 1-2 tablespoons of honey ...and the juice of as many fresh oranges as you need to cover the potatoes (ABSOLUTELY NO WATER...the potatoes bake in the orange juice, if the potatoes need more liquid to continue baking just add more orange juice)...olive at 180°C as long as needed for the potatoes to become soft.. (you can start with half covering the potatoes with the orange juice at the beginning and just keep adding more juice until the potatoes become nice and soft)....you can also add 3-4 whole cloves of know the orange juice sounds a bit strange so make a small batch the first time you try this but believe me it is really tasty!!!)... Good night from Greece!! Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year!!

I've made this twice and my family LOVES IT!!! I double the sauce and put it over rice. Unbelievably delicious! Thank you so much!

[SiYDiY]

I just made it and it’s absolutely delicious. The prep was 5-10 minutes which is also great. Thank you for sharing 😊

[EAJurk]

I love love love when you do full meals it makes it so much easier for my brain!!! Thank you!!!

I tried this recipe yesterday since the weather was nice for early August in Southern California… which means I could use the oven. We loved it! Only modification was that I used chicken “tenders” from Costco and cooked at 350 F 30 min plus 5 min broil. It was perfectly cooked, super tender. Next time I will add the rice rather than salad.
Thank you!

[julianalim]

I used chicken thighs and drumsticks. It turned out juicy and the skin is nicely brown. So yummy!

[JackSparrow-gnbe]

If you add a 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt to the marinade, it would to take the flavor to a whole new level.

[selfcaretravelrepeat]

Just made this and I am blown away! The rice is heavenly!

[AnthonyWabo]

Simple is always better! I love Greek's approach to food - fresh, hearty, delicious!
