Creating Easy Crispy Piri Piri Chicken is simple. Just follow these easy steps:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, mix Piri Piri sauce, olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice.
2. Marinate Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for maximum flavor.
3. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
4. Prepare Baking Tray: Line a baking tray with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
5. Arrange Chicken: Place the marinated chicken thighs on the baking tray, skin side up. Make sure they are spaced apart to allow even cooking.
6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the skin is golden brown and crispy, and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
7. Broil for Extra Crispiness: For an additional crispy texture, switch to the broiler for the last 5 minutes of cooking. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
8. Garnish: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Sprinkle fresh parsley on top for a touch of color.
9. Serve: Slice or serve the thighs whole, depending on your preference.
