1
Start by rinsing the bone in, skin on, chicken thighs and patting them dry with a paper towel. Gently lift the skin from the meat to make space for the rub.
2
In a mixing bowl, add smoked paprika, hot paprika, dried oregano, garlic powder, natural honey, salt, crushed red pepper flakes, and grated lemon zest. Mix it well to make an aromatic rub.
3
Apply the prepared spice rub all over the chicken thighs, ensuring to reach under the skin.
4
Allow the chicken to marinate for around 15 minutes so the flavors can seep into the meat.
5
Warm Bertolli extra virgin olive oil over medium heat in a deep or cast-iron pan. When the oil is hot, add the chicken thighs, skin side down.
6
Cook the thighs for 10 minutes on each side, until the chicken is fully cooked and the skin gets a nice, crispy texture.
7
Place the cooked chicken on a paper towel to drain any excess oil.
8
Finally, garnish the Honey-Glazed Crispy Chicken Thighs with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
