What a gorgeous presentation (this one is for RO):
(makes 4 servings)

4 large or 8 small bone-in chicken thighs (about 2 lbs., skin removed, trimmed
1 T. EVOO
3 T. chopped fresh oregano
2&1/2 T. chopped fresh garlic* chives, divided
1/2 t. sea* salt, plus a pinch, divided
1/4 t. freshly ground pepper plus a pinch, divided
2 cups strawberries, hulled and chopped
2 t. freshly grated lime zest
1 t. sugar, or to taste
1 t. balsamic vinegar, or more to taste

Preheat oven to 375. Combine chicken in a bowl with oil, oregano, 1 T. chives, 1/2 t. salt and 1/4 t. pepper. Place in a small to medium roasting pan. Roast the chicken until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part without touching bone registers 165, 35-45 mins., depending on size of the thighs. Meanwhile, combine strawberries, lime zest, sugar, vinegar, the remaining 1&1/2 T. chives , and the remaining pinch of S&P in a bowl. Let stand at room temp. until the chicken is done.
