Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, dried oregano, paprika, ground black pepper, and salt to create the marinade.
Step 3
Place the chicken thighs in a large bowl or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated. Let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 8 hours in the refrigerator for deeper flavor.
Step 4
Arrange the marinated chicken thighs skin-side up in a single layer on a baking sheet or in a baking dish.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is golden and crispy.
Step 6
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 7
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot with your favorite side dishes.
