Combine chicken in a bowl with oil, oregano, 1 tablespoon chives, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon 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 degrees F, 35 to 45 minutes, depending on the size of the thighs.
