Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in chicken thighs (skin-on)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1 tsp dried thyme or rosemary
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (low-sodium)

Instructions

  2. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and dried herbs.
