\cutext{1}{TL} salt
\cutext{1/2}{TL} pepper
\cunum{2--3} garlic cloves, pressed
\cutext{1}{EL} dried oregano

\method
Once the chicken has marinated for at least 1 hour, remove from the fridge and preheat the oven to 400F.
Use a vertical spit (or use half an onion as a base and position a skewer or two vertically into the onion like a spit on a sheet pan lined with foil). Thread the chicken thighs onto the skewer, making sure to rotate each thigh a bit as you go and the thighs are layered tightly together.
Bake for 1-1 ½ hours, until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165F (75C).
Let cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing/carving off slices of the chicken. Serve with pita, tzatziki and vegetables or in a bowl (by cooking layering everything on top of rice).
