Instructions:

1. Prep the Chicken:
   Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Place on a baking tray or dish.

2. Make Marinade:
   In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, oregano, salt, pepper, and lemon juice.

3. Coat Chicken:
   Brush or rub the marinade evenly over all chicken pieces.

4. Grill It:

   • On the grill: Preheat grill to medium-high heat, about 375–400°F (190–204°C). Grill chicken 5-7 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

   • In the oven: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Bake the chicken for about 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through, until cooked through.

5. Rest & Serve:
   Let chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing or serving. Garnish with fresh herbs.

Tips:

• You can add sliced veggies (bell peppers, zucchini, onions) on the tray to grill alongside the chicken.

• Marinate overnight for deeper flavor.
