Our baked chicken thighs are flavoured with paprika and are perfect if you’ve been in search of a new chicken thigh recipe. We think these baked chicken thighs are best served with lots of fresh crusty bread. However, for a heartier meal you might want to opt for roasted new potatoes or some fluffy rice. These baked chicken thighs are a great alternative to your traditional Sunday roast dinner and they are just as comforting. Chicken thighs are a fantastic, cheap cut of meat and they are full of flavour. Plus, at under 400 calories a portion, what’s not to love about this hearty one-pot wonder? Our recipe serves four but if you’re cooking for more people simply double the ingredients. It’s a great dish for people to help themselves too and there’s minimal washing up – win win!
