Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, honey, garlic, oregano, paprika, and black pepper.
Place chicken in a resealable bag or dish and pour the marinade over it. Ensure all pieces are coated. Marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, up to 8 hours.
Remove chicken from the fridge 15-20 minutes before cooking. Preheat your grill, oven, or skillet.
Grill over medium heat, bake at 400°F, or pan-sear until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving for maximum juiciness.
