Start by filling an ovenproof dish with chicken thighs, using 1 to 2 kilos (2 to 4 lbs) depending on how many people you're feeding.

Season the chicken with a good shake of salt and a whole lot of paprika.

Drizzle olive oil over the chicken and use a spoon to coat the chicken evenly with the oil and seasoning.

Place the chicken skin-side down in the dish and season the other side with salt, paprika, and olive oil.

Flip the chicken over so that it is skin-side down before placing it in the oven.

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).

Bake the chicken in the oven for 30 minutes skin-side down.

After 30 minutes, flip the chicken over to skin-side up and return it to the oven for an additional 30 minutes to crisp the skin.

While the chicken is baking, chop a whole head of broccoli and heat coconut oil in a frying pan.

Cook the broccoli in the hot coconut oil until it is nice and golden.

Once the chicken is done, serve two crispy chicken thighs with a portion of broccoli.
