Ingredients

• 6 pieces chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 teaspoons paprika
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 4 cloves garlic cloves
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 0.5 cup dry white wine
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 1 medium yellow bell pepper
• 1 medium onion
• 0.5 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, prepare the marinade by mixing olive oil, paprika, smoked paprika, minced garlic, lemon juice, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Place the chicken thighs in a large bowl or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken and rub it in to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for deeper flavor.

Step 3

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 4

Cut the red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and onion into thin strips. Spread them evenly on the bottom of a large roasting pan.

Step 5

Arrange the marinated chicken thighs on top of the vegetables, skin side up. Pour the dry white wine into the pan around the vegetables.

Step 6

Roast the chicken and vegetables in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and has an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Stir the vegetables halfway through cooking to ensure they don’t burn and cook evenly.

Step 7

Once cooked, remove the pan from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle fresh parsley over the chicken and vegetables before serving.

Step 8

Serve hot with crusty bread, rice, or roasted potatoes to soak up the flavorful juices.
