  1. Make the seasoning paste

    Step 1

  2. Coat and marinate the chicken

    • Fully coat the thighs with the paste, spreading it underneath the skin to flavor the meat.
    • Transfer the chicken to a zip-top bag or a container with a lid.
    • Let the thighs marinate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
    Step 2

  3. Preheat the oven and set up the pan

    • Preheat the oven to 215 °C.
    • Line a large baking pan with foil, set a baking rack in the pan and coat the rack with nonstick cooking spray.
    Step 3

  4. Bake the chicken

    • Place the thighs on the rack skin side down and bake uncovered for 30 minutes.
    • Turn over the thighs and continue to bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until cooked through and the juices run clear.
    • The internal temperature should reach at least 75 °C.
