1 tablespoon fresh oregano, chopped
1 small shallot, peeled
2 cloves garlic, peeled
1/2 jalapeño pepper, seeded
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon vinegar
1/2 cup oil
1 teaspoon salt
Fresh ground pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Prepare the Herb Marinade:
In a food processor, blend together the cilantro, parsley, oregano, shallot, garlic, and jalapeño. Add the lemon juice, vinegar, oil, salt, and pepper, and pulse until everything is finely chopped and well combined.
2. Marinate the Chicken:
Place the chicken thighs in a baking dish, season with salt and pepper, and pour 1/4 cup of the herb marinade over the chicken. Turn the chicken to coat evenly. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes, or up to 24 hours for more flavor.
