Orange and Paprika Marinated Chicken Thighs

Start by marinating the chicken thighs in a flavorful mixture of lemon or vinegar, orange juice, olive oil, crushed garlic, mild paprika, spicy paprika, salt, and pepper. Allow the chicken to soak up all the zesty and savory flavors for at least 30 minutes, or if you have time, marinate them for a few hours in the refrigerator.

Once the chicken thighs are nicely marinated, heat up your grill or preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). If grilling, preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

If grilling, place the marinated chicken thighs on the grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until they are nicely charred and have reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). If baking, place the thighs on a baking dish and cook for approximately 35-40 minutes, or until they are golden brown and fully cooked through.

Serve these succulent and zesty orange and paprika marinated chicken thighs with your favorite side dishes, and enjoy the burst of flavors with every bite! A perfect dish that brings both a nostalgic and contemporary taste to your table.
