Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel and set them aside in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, mix together smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken thighs and sprinkle the spice mixture evenly on both sides. Rub the spices into the chicken for full coverage.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together fresh lemon juice and honey to create a glaze.
Place the spiced chicken thighs on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, skin side up if bone-in.
Brush half of the lemon-honey glaze over the chicken thighs.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove the chicken from the oven, brush on the remaining glaze, and bake for another 10 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes to retain its juices.
Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the glazed chicken for garnish and serve immediately.
