Ingredients

  • 2 pounds pastured chicken thighs and drumsticks with or without skin
  • 1/2 cup My Greek salad dressing
  • 4-6 sprigs fresh thyme for garnish

Instructions

  • Place chicken and Greek dressing in gallon zipper bags and allow to marinate in the refrigerator for 12-24 hours, turning once halfway through.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Place chicken and marinade into a large, oven safe skillet or Dutch oven. Cook on stove over medium high heat for about 10 minutes, turning halfway through so that both sides of chicken are browned.
  • Transfer skillet/Dutch oven to oven (uncovered) and cook for approximately 20 minutes, or until chicken is thoroughly cooked.
  • Remove from oven, garnish with fresh thyme, and serve.

Notes

  • Let the chicken marinate for as long as possible as it makes the chicken tender and full of flavor.
  • You can easily adapt the marinade with fresh herbs and spices according to your preference.
  • You can use this method for marinating chicken with your favorite sauces.
  • Serve this chicken with rice or potato wedges and a big salad or grilled or roasted veggies.
  • Leftover chicken makes fantastic sandwiches or salad topper!
