3. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes.

Prepare the chicken

1. On a chopping board, pound the chicken until it has the same thickness with a meat mallet (a rolling pin could work as an alternative).
2. In another large bowl, combine chicken thighs and marinade. Refrigerate for at least one hour.
3. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).
