Why I Had To Make A Greek Version!
I have been blown away by how much you all have loved my baked chicken thighs recipe. Reading your reviews brings me more joy than I can even put into words, so truly, thank you!
And so many of you have asked how to tweak the spices for different flavor profiles, and I’ve been working on perfecting a few blends for you. I have curry chicken thighs coming later this summer, but I had to start with Greek because I use Greek-seasoned chicken constantly in the summer.
Whether it’s piled into gyros, added to rice bowls, or chopped up for pita tacos, It is satisfying to having these Greek chicken thighs ready to go!
Greek Chicken Thighs Ingredients
| Ingredient | Let’s Chat About It |
|---|---|
| Boneless, skinless chicken thighs | Use thighs similar in size so they cook evenly. Pat dry with paper towel for the best caramelized edges. |
| Olive oil & balsamic vinegar | It may seem like an unusual combo, but the vinegar adds the reliable pop of flavor! Use a good olive oil here for the best results. |
| Salt & pepper | Don’t skimp here; these two ingredients bring out all the flavor in these Greek chicken thighs. Be sure to use fine sea salt and coarse ground pepper. |
| Garlic powder, onion powder & paprika | These give the chicken a satisfying, savory, and flavorful base. |
| Oregano, basil & dill | This trio gives the chicken that Greek-inspired flavor. Crush the dried herbs between your fingers first for more flavor. |

How To Use Greek Chicken Thighs
This chicken is so good to have on hand because it works in so many straightforward meals.
It’s a great starting point for quick meals all week. Serve it over lemon rice, tuck it into a wrap with crisp veggies, add it to a salad, or build a platter with warm pita, tzatziki, olives, cucumbers, tomatoes, & feta. These Greek chicken thighs are also satisfying with roasted potatoes or a simple Greek salad on the side.
Storage
Store leftover Greek chicken thighs in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or a skillet until warmed through. You can also freeze it for up to 2 months; thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
