Oven-Roasted Lemon Garlic Chicken Delight

Ingredients

- 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 lemon, cut into wedges

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to reach temperature for optimal roasting.

2. Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to ensure crisp skin. Place them in a large mixing bowl.

3. Marinate the Chicken: Add minced garlic, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and paprika to the bowl with the chicken. Toss well to ensure the thighs are evenly coated with the aromatic mixture.

4. Arrange in Baking Dish: Transfer the marinated chicken thighs to a baking dish, skin-side up. Arrange lemon wedges around the chicken for an added citrus aroma during roasting.

5. Roast the Chicken: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven. Roast the chicken for 35-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is golden-brown and crisp.

6. Rest and Serve: Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute for a tender and juicy bite. Serve with the lemon wedges for an extra zing.
