Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. If using optional ingredients, add paprika and honey. Mix well to form a marinade.

  2. 2

    Add Chicken Thighs

    Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. 4

    Bake the Chicken

    Place the marinated chicken thighs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is golden brown.

  3. 5

    Rest and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the chicken thighs from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute.
