I'm going to show you just how to get the perfectly golden chicken, while keeping it moist, tender, and juicy on the inside. Here's what you'll need:
                                                                                   Chicken Thighs (cleaned, rinsed, and dried)
                                                                             1/2 Yellow Onion sliced
                                                                             8-12 sliced Mushrooms(I used Portobello)
                                                                             Lemons(juiced)& White Vinegar for washing
                                                                              1 Tbsp Paprika
                                                                             1/2 tsp Black Pepper
                                                                            Dried Herbs (Thyme, Rosemary, Oregano)
                                                                               
                                                                                   2 Cloves Garlic (crushed)
                                                                         
                                                                                  1/2 tsp ground Cumin
                                                                         
                                                                                  2 Tbsp Dark Soy Sauce
                                                                         
                                                                                  1/4 cup Dry White Wine (optional)
                                                                         
                                                                                  1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
                                                                      
First, you'll start by thawing the chicken thighs in the refrigerator, the night before. The following day, remove the chicken from the refrigerator, and add some water, the juice of 2 lemons, the vinegar, and cover with water until submerged. This will help remove the gamey taste of the meat. Rinse, and repeat twice using only water.

 Next, you'll pat dry the chicken pieces, using a few sheets of paper towel. Then, set aside in a separate bowl. Now, it's on to the mushrooms, and onions.  Start by slicing your favorite kind of mushrooms, along with half a yellow onion, and set aside in a separate container.

Now, let's prepare the marinade. For this, you'll add the paprika, cumin, salt, pepper, and dry herbs to a bowl. Then, drizzle a bit of olive oil onto the chicken thighs. Massage evenly throughout, to ensure even coating. Then, add the dry ingredients. Next, mix that around using your hands. Be sure to wash your hands between these steps, thoroughly using soap and warm water, so as not to cross contaminate anything. Then, with clean, dry hands, drizzle some dark soy sauce to it, and the white wine if you'd like. However, the wine is optional. Lastly, add the crushed garlic, and give it another massage to distribute evenly throughout. Place marinated chicken into the fridge. Preferably, overnight, but you can do this as little as two hours in advance. The important thing, is that the chicken and marinade, are given enough time to incorporate well with one another.

After that, it's important to preheat your over to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Next, line your baking pan with aluminum foil, this make for easy cleanup, later on. Trust me! Place the chicken pieces an inch apart, skin side down, on the baking pan. next, add  the wine, and remaining liquid over the chicken, before popping it into the over for twenty five to thirty five minutes. Halfway through the baking process, it would be a good idea, to add the sliced onions, and mushroom mixture. They'll reduce, soften, and become caramelized, once the cooking is finished. Believe me on this one!

Next, using a pair of tongs, turn the chicken thighs skin side up, before placing the baking pan back into the oven, to finish baking.
