Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200 °C (390 °F).
  2. Crush the garlic with the salt, then mix it with the oil, paprika, oregano and lemon juice.
  3. Lightly score the thighs and rub them with the marinade.
  4. Leave to rest for 30 minutes in the fridge so the meat absorbs the flavours.
  5. Arrange the thighs in an ovenproof dish, adding the potatoes cut into wedges if using.
  6. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, basting occasionally with the cooking juices.
  7. Check the meat is cooked through, then serve hot.
