Directions
Preparing the spice mix: 1. In a bowl, combine the smoked paprika, black pepper, spice mix, curry powder, sweet chicken seasoning, and garlic powder. Mix all the ingredients well until they form a uniform blend.
Preparing the marinade: 2. In another bowl, combine the honey and BBQ sauce. Mix the ingredients well.
Marinating the chicken thighs: 3. Thoroughly wash the chicken thighs and pat them dry with paper towels. 4. Place the thighs in a bowl and rub them well with the prepared spice mix, ensuring that each piece of meat is fully coated. 5. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably longer (up to 12 hours) to allow the meat to absorb all the flavors.
Preparing for baking: 6. Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F). 7. Line a baking tray with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil to prevent the meat from sticking. 8. Arrange the chicken thighs in a single layer on the prepared baking tray, skin side up.
Baking: 9. Place the baking tray with the chicken thighs in the preheated oven. 10. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the thighs are golden brown and fully cooked (the juices that run out of the meat should be clear). 11. In the last 10 minutes of baking, brush the thighs with the prepared marinade. 12. If you want crispier skin, turn on the broil function for the last 5-10 minutes of baking, being careful not to burn them.
Serving: 13. Remove the baked chicken thighs from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. 14. If desired, sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley for added flavor and decoration. 15. Serve with a side dish of your choice, such as roasted potatoes, rice, or a fresh salad. Enjoy delicious and juicy chicken thighs with rich spice flavors!
