Combine all the ingredients for the chicken marinade in a medium-size bowl.

Cover with an air-tight lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 200'C (400'F)
Heat 1 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil in the OVEN-PROOF frying pan and fry the chicken thighs on medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes.
Transfer the frying pan into the oven and bake the chicken for 20 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
If you are not sure your chicken is thoroughly cooked, feel free to use a meat thermometer. The chicken thighs bone-in or out are fully cooked when an internal temperature is about 170-175°F (77-79°C). This recipe is a great meal prep idea. Marinate the chicken and refrigerate it for 2-3 days. Or freeze it in a freezer-safe container. Simply take it out the day before you will cook it and leave it in the fridge to defrost it naturally. The chicken will marinate while it is defrosting. Perfect easy dinner for a busy weeknight.
