Step 1

In a blender, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, onion, and garlic. Blend until smooth.

Step 2

Pour the mixture into a large bowl and add the salt, pepper, oregano, paprika, and Greek yogurt. Stir until fully combined.

Step 3

Dip the the chicken thighs to the bowl, ensuring each piece is well coated.

Step 4

Transfer the coated chicken to a baking dish to marinate (approx. 34 cm x 23 cm). Pour any remaining marinade over the chicken.

Step 5

Cover and refrigerate for a few hours or overnight for the best flavours and tenderness. (See notes for shorter marination time)

Step 6

Remove the chicken from the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.

Step 7

Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F) (fan-forced).

Step 8

Bake uncovered for 60 minutes, or until golden and cooked through. (See notes below for browning and temperature tips.)

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before serving.
