Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (for garnish, chopped)
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, black pepper, salt, dried oregano, lemon juice, and honey. Whisk well to create a marinade.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and trim any excess fat if needed.
Place the chicken thighs in a large zip-top bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to 8 hours for deeper flavor).
When ready to cook, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and position an oven rack in the middle.
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Lightly grease the rack to prevent sticking.
Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 10 minutes.
Arrange the chicken thighs skin-side up on the wire rack. Discard any excess marinade.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, then turn on the broiler and broil for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
