Main Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Chicken
Start by patting the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. This helps to ensure a crispy skin when cooking.
- 2
Marinate the Chicken
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and coat them thoroughly with the marinade. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours for better flavor.

Cooking the Chicken
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the marinated chicken thighs skin-side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crispy and golden brown.

Garnish and Serve
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
