1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons white vinegar
4 bird’s eye chilis or red Thai chilis (available in the International section of your supermarket)
1 red bell pepper chopped
4 garlic cloves minced
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
4 bone-in, skinless chicken thighs

Add all the ingredients except for the chicken to a blender and blend until smooth. Place chicken and sauce into a bag and press out all the air. Marinate for at least 2 hours, up to 24 hours.
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Place chicken on a rack on top of a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil, and make sure to save the marinade. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, baste the chicken with the marinade and flip. Cook for another 10 to 15 minutes, until chicken is brown and crispy.
