Instructions
- Step 1.Whisk the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, thyme, salt and pepper together in a bowl to make the marinade.

- Step 3.Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high, about 200 C (400 F), and lightly oil the grates.
- Step 4.Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting the excess drip off, and place on the grill.
- Step 5.Grill the first side for 5 to 6 minutes until char marks form and the chicken releases easily.
- Step 6.Flip and grill the second side for 4 to 6 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 74 C (165 F).
- Step 7.Transfer to a plate, tent loosely with foil and rest for 5 minutes before slicing so the juices stay in. Serve with extra lemon.
