- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp onion powder
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp dill chopped
- Pinch salt

Add the chicken thighs to a ziploc bag or a medium sized bowl.
In a small bowl combine the lemon zest, lemon juice, oregano, paprika, onion powder, pepper, dill, salt, olive oil, honey and garlic. Add a few tablespoons of water and whisk together.
Pour the marinate over the chicken and let marinate in the refrigerator for two hours and up to overnight. You can also freeze the chicken with the marinade and it will last for two months.
Cook the chicken either on the stove, in the oven or on a grill. It should take about 5 minutes per side to cook. Cooking times might slightly vary but the internal temperature should be 165 degrees.
