Instructions
Set aide enough time for the chicken to marinade. Marinading chicken will take at least 2 hours or up to 12 hours.
Combine all ingredients in a jar, close the lid tight, and shake it like Ricky Martin just came on the radio.
Place chicken in a large zip-lock bag and pour the marinade all into the bag.
Close the bag, letting all the air out, and lay the bag down either in a large plate or a sheet pan. Place the pan in the refrigerator and let it marinade.
Cooking the chicken on the grill:
Start the coals about 20 minutes before ready to cook the chicken and make sure to pre-heat the grill first.
Brush the grill grate with some oil to grease it and place chicken on the grill. Close the lid and cook for about 5-6 minutes. Open the lid and use metal tongues to flip the chicken. Close the lid and cook for another 5-6 minutes.
Exact time for cooking the chicken will depend on the size of the thighs so use a meat thermometer to take internal temperature. Chicken is cooked when the thermometer reads 165° in the thickest part of the meat.
Notes
Leftover Marinade: Discard remaining marinate or cook it. To cook it, bring to simmer and simmer it for 5-7 minutes to use it as sauce. If you want to keep the marinade, make sure to cook it! Do not reuse it!
To Cook Greek Chicken in a pan: Preheat a large cooking pan over medium heat. Use metal tongs to take the chicken out of the marinade and into the pan. Cook chicken thighs over medium to medium-low heat for 6-8 minutes on each side, until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
To Bake Greek Chicken – Place the chicken thighs with some marinade on a greased baking dish and bake at 375°F until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. (Discard remaining marinate. Do not reuse it!)
To Roast Green Chicken – In the oven, chicken can also be roasted on a baking sheet without the marinade. Grease the rimmed baking sheet or line it with aluminum foil fist. Bake at 425°F for about 15 minutes. Check the internal temperature of the chicken to make sure it reached 165°.
