Place chicken thighs in a shallow casserole dish. Season with salt and pepper on all sides. Toss with the olive oil, vinegar, lemon, oregano, garlic and bay leaf. Cover and marinate overnight in the refrigerator.

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Bring the chicken to room temperature. Set chicken skin side up in the casserole dish. Top each piece of chicken with a little brown sugar.

Remove the foil and continue cooking for another 20 minutes until tender and beginning to brown.
