Here is an easy recipe for baked chicken paprika. The spice blend isn’t hot but it does add a lot of flavor. It got thumbs up from both my husband and daughter even though we usually prefer white meat.
Baked Chicken Paprika
PRINT RECIPE
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 large bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 1 Tbsp Paprika
- 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp. onion powder
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp. black pepper
- 1/4 tsp. cumin
- (optional) Sour cream
Stir the spices together.
Keeping the skin on the top, I like to trim away the extra on the back. You will have less pan juices after baking but I like to get rid of the extra fat.
Rinse and pat dry.
Sprinkle the spice blend over both sides of each thigh.
Place on a foil lined baking tray (the rack isn’t necessary but the foil makes clean-up easy)
Bake at 425 degrees for 40 minutes.
I had just a couple tablespoons of pan juices after baking. After pouring into a small bowl, I whisked in about a tablespoon of sour cream until blended. It is good spooned on the chicken. You will get more pan juices if you do not remove any skin and you will want to use a little more sour cream.
I also made this recipe using boneless, skinless chicken thighs. After sprinkling both sides with the spice blend, I lightly rolled each piece and placed on a baking pan lined with a silicone pad. I baked for the same amount of time as the chicken with the bone. We prefer the boneless chicken.
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 425°
In a small bowl combine spices and stir together.
If desired, Cut away extra skin from the bottom of each chicken thigh keeping the skin on the top intact. Note: (you will have less pan juices after baking if you remove the skin).
Wash chicken and pat dry with paper towel.
Sprinkle the spice blend over both sides of each chicken thigh.
Place on a foil lined baking tray.
Bake at 425° for 40 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
If desired, pour pan juices into a small bowl. Whisk in about a tablespoon of sour cream until smooth. Serve with chicken.
Love the picture of your little tidy spice mix! I will try this, I love to fix chicken in all kinds of variety.
We had a similar dish recently but the spice mix included coffee. An interesting twist.
I love chicken and this sounds so good. I bet that blend of spices would be good on a lot of other things as well
We love chicken and this looks delicious, so will have to try it. Thanks for sharing!
