Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Chicken
Rinse the chicken thighs under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
- 2
Marinate the Chicken
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, juice of the lemon, salt, and pepper. If using, add paprika and honey. Mix well.
- 3
Coat the Chicken
Add the chicken thighs to the marinade and toss until they are well coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for more flavor.
Cooking
- 4
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- 5
Arrange the Chicken
Place the marinated chicken thighs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, skin side up.
- 6
Bake the Chicken
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
- 7
Rest the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute.
