How To Make lemon oregano chicken

Step 1Whisk to combine all but the chicken in a small bowl. Salt and pepper to taste.

Step 2Pour liquid into a 1 gallon zip lock bag. Put chicken in the bag and seal it. Turn the bag over and over to ensure chicken is covered with liquid. Set aside and let soak for about 30 minutes (I have left it sit in the frig. for a day; just make sure to turn it over a few times.
