Greek Style Chicken Thighs

These are some delicious thighs, my friends.  Slow cooked, falling off the bone with all the flavors you love in Greek food.  Olives, tomatoes, feta, oregano, garlic.  That last sentence wasn't even a sentence.  That's how good these things are.  They will cause you to speak in less than perfect sentences.  Enjoy!
