From grilling the juiciest chicken thighs to weeknight baked chicken breasts, this simple but boldly flavored marinade will amp up the flavor with a delicious Greek twist! Feel free to use whatever cut of chicken you have on hand. A couple hours in your fridge will infuse the meat with the most vibrant flavor, but if you're short on time even 30 minutes on your counter will make a big difference.
