Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds chicken thighs, boneless, skinless trimmed
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • ½ cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • Juice from ½ lemon
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 2 teaspoons garlic salt
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • Finely chopped parsley for garnishing

Instructions
 

  • Add all ingredients (minus chicken and parsley) to a large mixing bowl. Mix well to combine. 
  • Add chicken thighs to the bowl, submerging them into the marinade. Cover and place inside the refrigerator for two hours up to overnight. 
  • When done, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Gently spray the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Remove chicken thighs from the bowl using a pair of tongs, allowing the excess juice to dip off. Arrange chicken thighs in the baking dish side by side. 
  • Use a spoon to generously pour marinade over the top of the chicken thighs (enough to cover the tops of the thighs and bottom of the dish). 
  • Bake chicken for 40-45 minutes. 
  • When done, garnish with chopped parsley and additional lemon if desired. Serve with white rice or a side dish of your choice. 

Notes

  • Pat the thighs dry with a paper towel to get a crisper exterior before submerging in the marinade.
  • The internal temperature should reach 165 degrees F after cooking. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after taking it out of the oven. I will help it stay moist.
  • They can be stored in an airtight container and refrigerated.
