Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Chicken
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This will ensure a crispy skin when cooked.
- 2
Make the Marinade
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.
- 3
Marinate the Chicken
Add the chicken thighs to the marinade and coat them thoroughly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
Cooking
- 4
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This high heat will help achieve a crispy skin on the chicken.
- 5
Arrange Chicken on Baking Sheet
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup. Place the marinated chicken thighs on the baking sheet, skin side up.
- 6
Bake the Chicken
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the skin is crispy.

Garnish and Serve
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges and a sprinkle of fresh parsley for garnish.
