Lemon Pepper Chicken

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup lemon juice (about 1 very large lemon)
• 8 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1/2 tsp. dried oregano
• 1/2 tsp. sea salt
• 1/4 tsp. pepper
• 3 lbs. chicken thighs
• some lemon slices added on top of chicken if desired (not necessary)

Instructions

1. Add the lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper to a 5-quart or larger slow cooker and stir. Add the chicken into the sauce one at a tiime and swish around in the sauce. There will be just enough sauce to coat the chicken)
2. Add some lemon slices if desired on top of the chicken.
3. Cover and cook on HIGH for 4 hours.
4. After cooking time is done, preheat the oven to broil (500 degrees).
5. Cover a baking sheet with foil. Using tongs remove the chicken from the slow cooker onto the baking sheet.
6. Place the chicken into the oven on top rack (My top rack was 3 levels down). Broil the chicken thighs for about 10 minutes, or until golden brown.
7. If you want to use the sauce from the slow cooker (it's fantastic!) Blot the sauce with a paper towel to remove the grease.
8. Remove from oven. Serve with desired sides.

Label: Cook on high in slow cooker for 4-6 hours. Remove from slow cooker, place chicken on baking sheet, broil chicken for 5-10 minutes until browned.
