Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to create the marinade.
Add the skinless chicken thighs to the bowl and toss them in the marinade until well coated. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes to enhance the flavors.
Arrange the marinated chicken thighs in the prepared baking dish in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd them.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and is golden brown on top.
Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the chicken thighs rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving for a touch of color and freshness.
Serve the chicken thighs hot with your choice of side dishes.
