Ingredients (Serves 2-4)

4 boneless, skin on chicken thighs

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp paprika

2 tbsp garlic powder

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Method

1. Marinate the Chicken

• Place the chicken thighs in a prep bowl.

• Add olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, and season with salt and pepper.

• Marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.

2. Preheat the Oven

• Preheat your oven to 200°C.

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.

3. Bake the Chicken

• Arrange the chicken on the prepared baking sheet.

• Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown on top.

4. Rest & Serve

• Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. This helps keep the juices locked in for a tender, flavourful bite.

• Serve with your favourite side dishes, such as roast aubergine, or a fresh salad.
