Instructions

simple and delicious

Make a creamy paste from the oil and spices. Brush the thighs generously with it. If you like, you can also marinate them for a few hours. Preheat the oven to 200°C (top/bottom heat) and place the thighs on a baking tray. After 15 minutes, pour off the excess fat, turn them over, and coat them generously with the marinade again. Leave in the oven for another 15 minutes. Pour off the fat, brush them over again, turn them over one last time, and return everything to the oven for another 10-15 minutes (depending on the thickness of the thighs). They should now be nice and crispy. We serve them with baguette and a crisp salad. A nice dish, not too greasy, as you can keep skimming off the fat. It also works well on the grill, of course.
