# Guide to Cooking:
01 -
Whisk together minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, rosemary, thyme, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to form the marinade.
02 -
Coat the chicken thighs thoroughly with the marinade and let rest for at least 15 minutes, preferably longer for enhanced flavor.
03 -
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken thighs skin-side down until the skin is crispy and golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
04 -
Transfer the seared chicken to a preheated oven at 200°C and roast for 20-25 minutes until cooked through.
05 -
Place under the broiler for 2-3 minutes to enhance skin crispness, watching carefully to avoid burning.
06 -
Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes, then garnish with fresh parsley and lemon slices before serving.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Marinating the chicken for at least an hour enhances the depth of flavor and tenderness.
02 -
Resting the meat after roasting helps retain juices for a moist result.
