Ingredients

Scale

Chicken:

  • 2 lbs chicken thighs, boneless and skinless

Marinade:

  • 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1–2 tablespoons chili paste (adjust based on heat preference)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Garnish:

  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Juice of 1 lime

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine the chicken thighs, coconut milk, olive oil, chopped onion, minced garlic, grated ginger, chili paste, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best flavor.
  2. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  3. Bake the Chicken: Transfer the marinated chicken and all the marinade into a large baking dish. Spread the chicken out in a single layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  4. Rest and Serve: Once cooked, remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the chicken and garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
