Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Combine all ingredients for glaze, mixed well and set aside.

Clean chicken thighs, pat dry and lay out on a baking pan. Sprinkle salt, pepper and paprika over each thigh and drizzle about 1/2 teaspoon olive oil over each chicken thigh.

Bake chicken for about 30 minutes. Take out of the oven and brush each thigh with glaze. Place back in the oven and let finish cooking for at least 10 more minutes, or until juices from the chicken are running clear.
