Ingredients
- 6 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 6 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and place them in a large bowl.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix together minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Step 4
Pour the marinade over the chicken thighs, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let them sit for 10 minutes at room temperature (or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator for more flavor).
Step 5
Arrange the chicken thighs, skin-side up, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or in a greased oven-safe dish.
Step 6
Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is golden and crisp.
Step 7
For extra-crispy skin, turn on the oven broiler for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.
Step 8
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 9
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with your favorite sides such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
