Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) for 10 minutes.

In a bowl, combine minced garlic, lemon juice and zest, olive oil, honey, dried oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Whisk until blended.

Pat chicken thighs dry, place in a baking dish, and pour marinade over, ensuring even coating. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Arrange chicken skin-side up, drizzle remaining marinade, and bake for 35-40 minutes until golden brown and 165°F internally.

Broil on high for 2-3 minutes for extra crispiness, watching closely to prevent burning.

Let rest for 5 minutes, then garnish with parsley before serving.
