Zesty Roasted Chicken Thighs

Combine soy sauce, chili sauce, paprika, parsley, and pepper in a large glass or ceramic container. Mix well to create a uniform blend. Add chicken thighs and gently stir until they are evenly coated with the marinade mixture. Cover the container with plastic wrap to prevent contamination and refrigerate for up to 1 hour.

Heat your oven to a high temperature of 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place a wire rack on top of the tray.

Take the chicken thighs out of the marinade mixture and shake off any excess. Transfer them to the prepared rack, making sure not to touch the bottom of the rack. Discard any remaining marinade.

Place the chicken thighs in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes. Rotate them halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning. Continue baking until they are no longer pink in the centers and juices run clear, which should take an additional 10 to 15 minutes. To check if the chicken is cooked, insert an instant-read thermometer into the center and verify that it reads at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
