Ingredients

🍗 8 bone-in chicken thighs, washed & patted dry
🧂 1 tablespoon seasoned salt
🌿 1 tablespoon dried parsley
🍋 1 tablespoon lemon pepper
🧄 1 teaspoon garlic powder

🧂 1 packet of Sazón
🥢 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
🍋 Juice of 1 lemon
🔥 1 and 1/2 tablespoons Sriracha, or to taste
🫒 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

1- Prepare the Chicken:

Begin by washing and patting dry the chicken thighs to ensure they absorb the flavors of the marinade better.

2- Make the Marinade:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the seasoned salt, dried parsley, lemon pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, Sazón packet, soy sauce, lemon juice, olive oil, and Sriracha.
Stir until well mixed.

3- Marinate the Chicken:

Pour the marinade over the chicken thighs, ensuring each piece is well coated.
For best results, allow the chicken to marinate for several hours or overnight in the refrigerator.

4- Preheat and Prepare:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a baking tray with parchment paper for easy clean-up.

5- Bake:

Arrange the marinated chicken thighs on the tray, pouring any remaining marinade over them.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crispy.

6- Enjoy:

Once done, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
