Ingredients
  

  • ⅓ cup oregano leaves (packed)
  • ½ cup parsley (leaves and stems, packed)
  • 2 cloves garlic (peeled)
  • 2 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 5 tablespoon olive oil (plus additional for coating chicken)
  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt (or to taste, plus extra for chicken)
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper (ground, plus extra for chicken)
  • 4 bone-in skin-on chicken thighs

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a sheet pan with foil.
  • Season the chicken thighs by sprinkling with salt and pepper, then rubbing in a bit of olive oil to coat the skin. Leave skin side up on the pan and roast for 35-40 minutes in the hottest part of the oven.
  • While the chicken is cooking, chop the garlic, oregano, and parsley until the herbs are finely chopped and there are no large pieces of garlic remaining.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the herbs and garlic, olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper until combined. Allow the sauce to sit at room temperature for the remainder of the chicken cooking time.
  • Remove the chicken from the pan when it is golden and the skin is crisped up. Transfer to a plate to rest for 5 minutes and spoon over the sauce. Serve extra sauce table side.
