Preheat the oven to 200°C. Prepare a casserole dish or a deep baking tray. Wash the chicken thighs thoroughly and pat dry with kitchen paper. Season with salt and pepper to taste and rub them well with smoked paprika. Place them in the dish. Briefly melt the coconut oil in a small pan and brush a little oil onto the tops of the chicken thighs with a pastry brush. Place in the oven and roast for 15 minutes using top/bottom heat. After 15 minutes, turn the thighs over and brush with more oil. Roast for another 15 minutes, then turn again and season with more paprika if desired. Roast for another 15 minutes, brushing occasionally with the drained oil from the dish. The thighs will be super tender and juicy.
