Smoked Paprika Chicken Thighs
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon ancho chile powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
- 4 large bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
Steps
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.
- In a large resealable storage bag, combine paprika, garlic, ancho chile powder, salt, turmeric, and black pepper; add olive oil and apple cider vinegar and mix together. Place chicken thighs into the bag, reseal, and massage seasoning mix into chicken. Marinate, refrigerated, for at least 15 minutes.
- Place the chicken in the prepared baking dish and drizzle with melted butter.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is no longer pink inside and the skin is crispy, about 40 minutes, brushing occasionally with the pan drippings. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thick part of a thigh should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). For extra crispy skin, place under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes. Garnish with parsley.
