Ingredients
- 6 chicken thighs
- 1 whole lemon (or approx 4 Tbsps lemon juice)
- 1/2 cup chopped, fresh herbs of choice (I used a combo of thyme, rosemary, basil, and chives)
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 Tbsp garlic paste or minced garlic
- kosher salt, pepper, crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
-
Put the chicken thighs in a gallon size plastic bag. Squeeze the juice of the lemon into the bag and add the olive oil, chopped herbs, garlic, kosher salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes.

Massage the bag until evenly combined and marinate in the fridge at least an hour or overnight.

Cook the chicken according to one of these methods:
Oven- Put the chicken thighs in a casserole dish or baking sheet. Bake in a 400 degree oven for 40 to 45 minutes.
Traeger/ Smoker- Set your smoker to 250 degrees and place the chicken in the smoker. Smoke them 1 1/2 hours and flip them over, smoke another 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
