Easy Oven Baked Chicken Breasts or Thighs

Step 1

Mix together all ingredients besides chicken. Place chicken in a bowl or large ziplock bag and add marinade.

Step 2

Add marinade to chicken and toss to coat. Cover bowl or seal ziplock bag and place in fridge to marinade for 1 hour.

Step 3

When ready to cook, preheat oven to 375°F. Place chicken breast, bone side down, on a baking pan.

Step 4

Spoon on a little extra marinade on top of each piece of chicken and then toss remaining marinade. Sprinkle chicken with Italian seasoning, salt and pepper.

Step 5

Bake in preheated oven until chicken meat is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 45 to 55 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the breast meat should read 165°F.

Step 6

Cover chicken loosely with foil and allow to rest for 5 minutes, then serve. This ensures your chicken stays extra juicy
