INGREDIENTS:

1 cup olive oil

1 cup lemon juice

The zest of 2 lemons

Slices of 1 lemon

3 tbsp chopped rosemary

Salt and pepper to taste

2 lbs boneless chicken thighs

PROCESS:

Combine olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, rosemary, salt, and pepper in a plastic bowl or zip lock bag. Set half of this mix aside.
