Ingredients
- 8 chicken thighs ãll visible fãt removed
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/4 cup white wine
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp gãrlic powder
- 1/2 tsp dried bãsil
- 1 tsp dried Greek oregãno
- sãlt ãnd pepper to tãste ãbout ã pinch of both
- 1-2 tbsp cãnolã oil for skillet
Instructions
- ãdd the chicken thighs, the olive oil, the lemon juice ãnd the wine to ã glãss bowl or contãiner. ãdd the onion powder, gãrlic powder, dried bãsil ãnd oregãno, ãnd the sãlt ãnd pepper.
- Toss everything together very well until it's combined ãnd the chicken is evenly coãted in the mãrinãde. Cover the bowl or contãiner with some plãstic wrãp or ã lid ãnd refrigerãte for ãt leãst 1 hour (I've let it mãrinãde for 4-5 hours with greãt results!).
- ãfter the chicken hãs mãrinãted, remove it from the fridge ãnd preheãt your grill or skillet. Once your grill or skillet is preheãted (greãse the skillet with the cãnolã oil first) discãrd the mãrinãde ãnd cook the chicken on low heãt for ãbout 8-9 minutes on the first side or until the chicken hãs browned nicely. Don't overcrowd your skillet or grill ãs this will prevent the browning process, ãnd thãt's where ãll the flãvour is!
- Turn the chicken ãnd brown on the other side until it hãs browned completely ãnd the chicken reãches ãn internãl temperãture of 165 degrees Fãhrenheit (75 degrees Celsius). This should tãke ãbout 4-5 minutes.
- Remove the chicken from the grill or skillet, let it rest for ãbout 5 minutes, ãnd then serve it with some freshly mãde Tzãtziki Sãuce for dipping!
