Ingredients

8 to 10 chicken thighs, skinned
2 tablespoons crushed dried oregano
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 large lemons
2 teaspoons minced garlic
Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

Preheat oven to 500 degrees, turn on broiler or prepare barbecue grill.
Rinse and dry chicken thighs. Arrange chicken pieces in shallow baking pan or on top of broiler pan.
Mix oregano, oil, juice from one lemon, garlic and pepper. If there is time allow the chicken pieces to marinate in the oregano mixture for several hours. Otherwise, drizzle half of oregano mixture over chicken pieces.
Bake, broil or grill for about 15 minutes; turn and drizzle remaining oregano mixture over chicken pieces and continue cooking until chicken is done, 10 to 15 minutes.
Cut remaining lemon into wedges and serve with chicken.
