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.

I may try this but with wayyy less oil bc oil is so extremely fattening.
Thank you so much, This recipe is great.
This looks incredible, I have looked and never found a good Greek chicken recipe. Thank you!!🥰🥰
Yes I love the chicken even though I haven’t eaten it I love it but I have no energy to cook it. What do I do?
Perfect! 😊
Superb 😊
Why "kosher salt"? Ordinary is just as good and probably cheaper.
the only thing missing is tzatziki haha
Your cookbook is fabulous, I so enjoyed going through it and making several of your recipes. 😊
I just bought an air flyer yesterday ! Trust me I screwed up … 😂
Already a new favorite of mine. Thank you so much.
Speaking a bit too fast.
I rose the vegetables with the chicken.
What type of oregano do you use?
I made this last night, it was wonderful just the way you created it! Thank you!
Can you omit the salt?
For the rice, if you're using low sodium chicken broth, why add salt?
What is Greek about it?
my dad was half greek he used to make good greek chicken you have a good recepie for your greek chicken i am going to make it
Your marinade sounds lovely except I have to switch garlic for onion!
I made and love this recipe! What I did is place the chicken in the bowl with the marinade, that I mixed the marinade in. It saved one bowl to wash!
Looks amazing
I like it looks delicious
Thank you for sharing this recipe. So easy and very tasty. It is now in my everyday meal recipe book. ❤❤
Delicious and easy recipe i will also try it ❤
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!!
Made this the other day and it was AMAZING! Had it for both lunch and dinner the first day I made it haha 😅 There's nothing left 😢 Definitely a keeper! Thanks Lisa.
Lots of oil. 140 calories per T.

Very nice indeed🎉❤
Do you think you’re text savvy enough to start listing and checking off the items you’re adding to the recipe on the right or left hand side of the video
Why CAN'T Americans pronounce the word 'herb' when they CAN say the word 'hotel'? Try consistency!
Great recipe and video. So good not to have to sit through chef warriors endlessly chopping, peeling etc.
Looks delicious 😂
Try it out with Greek lemon potatoes. Just put them underneath the chicken.
Absolutely delicious and unique recipe I love it 😋❤
I love Greek inspired foods. This is definitely on my must make list
👍😋🙋🏼♀️🐶🐶🇩🇪💐
American version of English makes me laugh herb’s pronounced as urbs lol 😂
Omg!!! This chicken recipe is a must have! It is so easy to make and it is delicious! Thank you Lisa!
