Thighs forgive a distracted cook. They stay juicy even if you leave them ten minutes too long.

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 210°C. Pat the chicken dry and season it well on both sides.
  2. Toss with oil, oregano, the garlic and one lemon cut into wedges. Arrange skin side up in one layer.
  3. Roast for 40 minutes, until the skin is deep golden and crisp.
  4. Squeeze over the second lemon and rest for five minutes before serving.
Note. Dry skin is crisp skin. If you have time, leave the thighs uncovered in the fridge for a few hours.
