Restated from the original video

  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 200 °C (400 °F). Cover a rimmed tray with foil.

  2. 2

    Mix the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, brown sugar, salt and black pepper in a small bowl.

  3. 3

    Pat the chicken very dry with paper towels.

  4. 4

    Rub the olive oil over all sides of the chicken, then coat with the spice mix, working some under the skin.

  5. 5

    Lay the thighs skin side up on the tray with space between them.

  6. 6

    Bake without turning until the skin is crisp and deep golden, 35-45 min. The thickest part, away from the bone, must reach 74 °C (165 °F).

  7. 7

    For extra crisp skin, grill under a hot broiler for 2-3 min, watching closely.

  8. 8

    Rest for 5 min, then scatter with parsley and serve with the lemon wedges.
