Instructions:

1. Prep the marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, basil, paprika, salt, and pepper.
2. Marinate the chicken: Place the chicken in a zip-top bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it's evenly coated. For optimal flavor, marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight in the refrigerator.
3. Cook the chicken: Preheat your grill, oven, or skillet to your desired temperature. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the excess. Cook the chicken according to your preferred method until cooked through and golden brown. A meat thermometer should read 165°F (74°C).

Tips:

• For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
• Experiment with different herbs and spices to create your unique marinade.
• To prevent flare-ups on the grill, let the marinade drip off the chicken before placing it on the grill.
