Chicken Thigh Marinade Recipe

Directions

1. Season the sweet potatoes: In a large bowl, add 24 oz sweet potatoes, 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp paprika, and 1/2 tsp garlic powder. Mix well.
2. Bake the sweet potatoes: Arrange the well-seasoned sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Place the baking tray in the middle rack of a preheated oven and bake it at 450°F for 20 minutes.
3. Make the marinade: In another large bowl, add 1 tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tbsp lemon juice, 1/2 tsp lemon zest, 1 tsp brown sugar, 1/2 tsp paprika, 1/2 tsp oregano, 1 tbsp minced garlic, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp ground black pepper. Whisk well to combine.
4. Marinate the chicken thighs: Add 22 oz skinless, bone-in chicken thighs to the bowl of pre-mixed sauce and mix well to coat.
5. Bake the marinated chicken thighs: Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven, then place the marinated chicken thighs on the baking tray. Bake them at 400°F for 30 minutes.
6. Garnish and serve: Take the baking tray out of the oven and scatter 2 tbsp parsley onto the baked chicken thighs. Serve the dish with baked sweet potatoes and green peas on the side.
