Chicken Thighs with Chimichurri Sauce
I just stared eating chimichurri sauce a few years ago and figured out the 2 tricks you need to remember to make it memorable. First, always add oregano and second, drizzle it over chicken thighs.
Chicken Thighs
It’s best to BBQ over medium heat for 45 minutes, but if you don’t have a grill just use your oven.
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Cover your thighs in Olive Oil and a sprinkle with salt and pepper on each side. In a single layer place them in the oven and bake for about 45 minutes.
