Description
A flavorful recipe for juicy chicken thighs marinated with a blend of spices for a succulent taste.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken thighs, skin-on and bone-in
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped
Instructions
- Start by preparing the chicken thighs. Pat them dry with paper towels, which helps the skin get crispy when cooked. In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
- Add the chicken thighs to the bowl, making sure they’re well-coated with the marinade. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- When you’re ready to cook, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the chicken thighs skin-side up in a baking dish.
- Place the baking dish in the oven and roast for about 25-30 minutes until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Once done, let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
For a healthier option, use skinless thighs or replace olive oil with avocado oil.
