Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. In a bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to create a marinade.
3. Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the fridge for more flavor).

9. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
