In a medium bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, olive oil, oregano, parsley, basil, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.
Place the chicken in a large resealable bag or a lidded container and pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are coated; seal the bag or cover the container.
Refrigerate the chicken to marinate for up to 4 hours, turning the bag once halfway through so all pieces are evenly coated.
Remove the chicken from the refrigerator 20–30 minutes before cooking to come toward room temperature.
To bake: preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly oil a 9x13-inch baking dish and arrange the chicken in a single layer; discard the excess marinade. Bake 20–25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Let rest 5 minutes before slicing.
To slow-cook: lightly coat the slow cooker with oil, place the chicken inside, discard the excess marinade, cover, and cook on low for 3–4 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Let rest 5 minutes before slicing.
To grill: preheat the grill to about 400°F (204°C) and lightly oil the grates. Place the chicken on the grill, discard excess marinade, and cook 4–5 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Let rest 5 minutes before slicing.
