Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 whole Lemon (juiced)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to ensure the skin becomes crispy during baking.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to form a spice paste.
Rub the spice paste evenly over each chicken thigh, ensuring they are well-coated with the mixture.
Arrange the coated chicken thighs skin-side up on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken skin is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Drizzle the lemon juice over the baked chicken, and garnish with fresh chopped parsley for added flavor and color.
Serve the chicken hot as a main dish alongside your favorite low-carb sides, like roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
