Ingredients
  

  • 4 bone-in skin-on chicken thighs
  • 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)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a sheet pan with foil.
  • Season the chicken thighs by coating them with a bit of olive oil and then sprinkling with salt and pepper to taste. Place them skin side up on the pan and roast for 35-40 minutes in the hottest part of the oven.
  • While the chicken is cooking, strip the oregano stems of their leaves and peel the garlic. Finely mince the garlic, oregano, and parsley.
  • 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 thighs from the pan when they are golden, the skin is crisped up, and the internal temperature has reached 165°F. Transfer the chicken to a plate to rest for 5 minutes and spoon over the sauce. Serve extra sauce table side.
