In a large bowl, combine olive oil, red chili flakes, minced garlic, paprika, lemon juice, soy sauce, honey, salt, and black pepper.
Mix the marinade ingredients thoroughly until well blended.
Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for deeper flavor.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place the marinated chicken thighs on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil or parchment paper, skin side up.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the skin is crispy.
Once fully cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
Serve the Angry Chicken hot with your choice of side dishes, like rice or steamed vegetables.
