Instructions
Preheat the oven to 220 C / 428 F and line a baking sheet with aluminium foil and top it with an oven-safe wire rack.
In a large mixing bowl, mix olive oil, paprika, salt and pepper, chopped rosemary, lemon zest and garlic.
¼ cup olive oil,
1 tablespoon lemon zest,
1 teaspoon smoked paprika,
¾ teaspoon salt,
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper,
1 sprig rosemary,
5 cloves garlic
Wash the chicken and pat them dry using a paper towel. Toss the chicken in the olive oil mixture (make sure all the chicken are evenly coated).
6 chicken thighs
Transfer the chicken thighs into the rack leave space between the thighs.
Bake for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Garnish with some chopped parsley (optional) and serve warm.
Notes
Patting the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel before mixing them into the olive oil mixture will make it crispier later when already baked.
It is best to use a rimmed baking sheet for the rack so that the juice of the baked chicken won't make a mess.
You may use any other cuts of chicken you prefer: breasts, drumsticks or wings. However, you will need to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
