Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.25 cup Chicken broth
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil or non-stick cooking spray.
Step 2
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and place them in the prepared baking dish in a single layer.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to create a marinade.
Step 4
Brush the marinade generously over the chicken thighs, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Step 5
Pour the chicken broth around the chicken, being careful not to wash off the marinade.
Step 6
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Baste with the cooking juices halfway through for extra flavor.
Step 7
Once cooked, remove the dish from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes.
Step 8
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Serve the baked chicken with a side of roasted vegetables, rice, or salad for a complete meal.
