Marinating the Chicken Thighs

The best way to make delicious oven roasted chicken thighs is to marinade them.

In a large mixing bowl add 8 chicken thighs.
To the bowl, add 2 tablespoons of dark soy sauce, 2 tablespoons Thai Style sweet chili sauce, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, 1 teaspoon of paprika, and 1 teaspoon dehydrated parsley.
Using tongs, mix everything well. Ensure that all of the chicken thighs have been properly coated with the sauce. This will mean that each of the thighs will taste the same.
Cover the bowl and place it in the fridge for 20 minutes or up to an hour.

Baking the Oven Roasted Chicken thighs

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

Line a 9×13 inch baking sheet with parchment paper and place a 9×13 inch cookie rack on it.
Place the marinated chicken thighs on the cookie rack. Placing the thighs on a cookie rack allows the juices from the chicken to drip on the parchment paper and collect there. This helps prevent the chicken from getting soggy.

Bake the chicken for 20-25 minutes. Each oven is different, so the timing will vary.
After about 15 minutes, turn the chicken over once to allow it to cook and crisp evenly on both sides. Turning it over also means that both sides of the chicken thighs will get the markings from the cookie tray and enhance the look as well.

Serving Suggestions for Oven Roasted Chicken Thighs

Let the baked chicken thighs rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley or coriander and enjoy with a side of your choice.
Try having them with my side of delicious warm potato salad.

Or in a grilled chicken wrap. There are so many uses for the same chicken thighs.
