Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped rosemary, salt, black pepper, and optional paprika and honey. Mix well to create a marinade.

  2. 2

    Add Chicken

    Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, ideally overnight.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature helps to crisp the skin while keeping the meat juicy.

  2. 4

    Prepare the Baking Dish

    Place the marinated chicken thighs in a baking dish, skin-side up. Pour any remaining marinade over the chicken.

  3. 5

    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.

  4. 6

    Rest and Serve

    Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the chicken juicy.
