Ingredients

• 6 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
• 2 teaspoons Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (for garnish, chopped)
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a small mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, black pepper, salt, dried oregano, lemon juice, and honey. Whisk well to create a marinade.

Step 2

Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and trim any excess fat if needed.

Step 3

Place the chicken thighs in a large zip-top bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to 8 hours for deeper flavor).

Step 4

When ready to cook, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and position an oven rack in the middle.

Step 5

Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Lightly grease the rack to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 10 minutes.

Step 7

Arrange the chicken thighs skin-side up on the wire rack. Discard any excess marinade.

Step 8

Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, then turn on the broiler and broil for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 9

Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
