Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 ears corn on the cob
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons fresh parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)
- 1 whole lime
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, mix the smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
In a large mixing bowl, drizzle the chicken thighs with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and rub the spice mix all over each piece, ensuring even coverage.
Place the chicken thighs on a lined baking sheet, skin-side up. Drizzle with honey for added caramelization.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is crispy.
While the chicken is baking, prepare the corn on the cob. Brush each ear of corn with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Grill the corn for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until charred and tender.
Once grilled, brush each ear of corn with 1 tablespoon of butter while still hot and squeeze fresh lime juice over the top for a tangy finish.
Sprinkle chopped parsley over the chicken and corn, if desired, for a fresh touch.
Serve the chicken thighs alongside the corn on the cob and enjoy your devilishly flavorful meal!
