Creating Lemon Paprika Roast Chicken Thighs is simple when you follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare Chicken: Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. This will help achieve a crispy skin.
3. Make the Marinade: In a small bowl, combine olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Mix well.
4. Season the Chicken: Rub the marinade generously over the chicken thighs, ensuring they are well coated.
5. Arrange in Baking Dish: Place the seasoned chicken thighs skin-side up in a baking dish or on a lined baking sheet.
6. Roast the Chicken: Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the skin is golden brown.
7. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
8. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle fresh parsley over the chicken thighs before serving for an added touch of color and flavor.

These steps will guide you in creating perfectly roasted chicken thighs that are bursting with flavor.
