6 boneless skinless chicken thighs (about 0.7 kg)
⅛ cup olive oil
2 tablespoons honey Dijon mustard
6 cloves garlic, minced (or 3 large ones)
Zest of 2 lemons
½ tablespoon salt (adjust if using fine/table salt)
Dry oregano, to taste
1 cup water or chicken stock (for the baking pan)
1. Preheat the Oven:
Set oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Mix the Marinade:
In a bowl, combine chicken, olive oil, mustard, garlic, lemon zest, salt, and oregano. Mix well. Let it marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
3. Build the Skewer Setup:
No spit? Cut an onion in half, place flat side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment, and insert two wooden skewers upright into each half.
4. Stack the Chicken:
Layer the marinated thighs onto the skewers, flipping each piece for even stacking. Pour water or stock into the base of the pan.
5. Roast the Chicken:
Cover the top with foil if needed. Bake for 75–90 minutes until fully done and golden on the outside.
6. Rest and Slice:
Let the chicken rest briefly. Slice thin and serve.
