Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine olive oil, Piri Piri sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in a large zip-top bag or bowl. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it’s well coated. Seal the bag or cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure a crispy finish.

Arrange Chicken: Place the marinated chicken thighs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, skin side up. Make sure they are spaced apart for even cooking.

Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the skin is golden brown and crispy, and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Broil for Extra Crispiness: If desired, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes to achieve extra crispiness.

Rest the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute for maximum tenderness.

Garnish: Sprinkle fresh parsley over the chicken for a burst of color and flavor.

Serve: Arrange the chicken on a platter and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
