  2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in a large zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the thighs, ensuring they are thoroughly coated.
  3. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to achieve crispy skin.
  4. Arrange and Bake the Chicken: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the chicken thighs skin-side up. Bake for 25-30 minutes.
  5. Baste and Finish Cooking: Halfway through baking, baste the chicken with leftover marinade.
  6. Rest and Serve: Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

For maximum flavor, marinate the chicken thighs overnight. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
