Ingredients

The amounts are approximate, pretty much a small handful of each herb, minced. The one thing that I would highly suggest, is that you cut the herbs from your garden just before you are going to use them to make the marinade.

4 sprigs rosemary

5 sprigs cilantro

5 sprigs flat leaf parsley

10 large basil leaves

2 scallions

3-4 cloves garlic

Juice of one lemon

1/2 cup olive oil or more.

Fresh cracked pepper

kosher salt

4-6 chicken thighs with or without skins and bones

large zip lock bag, or container large enough to allow chicken and marinade to marry in.

Directions

Rinse chicken well and pat dry with paper towels.

Mince finely all herbs and place into bowl.

Add good amount of freshly cracked pepper (1 tablespoon) and add 1 teaspoon or more of kosher salt to bowl.

Add lemon juice and olive oil to bowl and stir marinade.

Pour over chicken in zip lock bag or container.

Marinade for at least 30 minutes and up to 24 hours.

Turn bag or chicken over once and awhile so that all parts of the chicken are well coated.

If you are roasting chicken, simply rub marinade all over chicken before placing the bird in a hot oven and roast 15 minutes per pound if not stuffed, 20 minutes if stuffed.

If broiling or grilling, make sure grill surface or broiler is preheated, and cook at least 12 minutes on each side on medium heat.

Serve it up with your favorite side dishes!
