For a richer flavor, marinate the chicken in the spice paste for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, in the refrigerator. Adjust the amount of paprika to your preference. Use sweet paprika for a mild flavor or smoked paprika for a deeper, smoky note. Feel free to add other vegetables to the roasting pan, such as onions, bell peppers, or zucchini. If the chicken starts to brown too quickly, lower the oven temperature slightly or cover it more tightly with foil. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) in the thickest part of the thigh.
