Preparation
Wash the chicken thighs thoroughly and pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
Marination:
- In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, paprika, black pepper, minced garlic, and salt.
- Rub the marinade generously onto the chicken thighs, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours.
Cooking Steps
Preheat the grill or oven to **200°C (400°F)**.
Place the marinated chicken thighs on the grill, skin side down.
Grill for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
Ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 75°C (165°F) to confirm it is cooked.
In a small pan, melt the butter over low heat. Add minced garlic and thyme or rosemary and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Brush the melted butter mixture over the grilled chicken thighs during the final 2-3 minutes of grilling.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot.
