Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 lbs Boneless skinless chicken thighs High-quality, patted dry.
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil Extra-virgin.
  • 1.5 tsp Kosher salt Coarse salt for browning.
  • 1 tsp Smoked paprika For golden color.
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder For savory flavor.
  • 0.5 cup Low-sodium chicken broth Creates the savory pan juices.
  • 2 tbsp Butter Melted.
  • 2 tbsp Fresh green parsley Finely chopped, for garnish.
  • 0.5 tsp Cracked black pepper Freshly cracked, for garnish.

Equipment

  • 1 White rectangular ceramic baking dish 9x13 inch preferred for tight arrangement.
  • 1 Kitchen Tongs For handling raw meat and arranging tightly.

Method
 

Preparation and Baking
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat the chicken thighs completely dry with paper towels. In a large mixing bowl, toss the dried meat with olive oil, kosher salt, smoked paprika, and garlic powder until perfectly coated.
  2. Pour the chicken broth and melted butter directly into your white rectangular ceramic baking dish. Swirl the dish slightly to combine into a shallow pool. Arrange the seasoned chicken thighs tightly in the dish, ensuring the tops remain exposed.
  3. Place the dish on the middle rack and bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes. The internal temperature must reach a safe 165°F (74°C) and the edges should have a slight roasted crispiness.
  4. Remove from the oven and let the meat rest in the light golden broth for 5 minutes. Top with a generous sprinkle of finely chopped fresh green parsley and cracked black pepper before serving.
