Step-by-Step Instructions

In a plastic sealable bag add the oil, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder.
Add the meat and massage the marinade into the meat on all sides, then leave in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 400F (200C).
Place the meat skin-side-up in a casserole dish and season with salt and pepper.
Roast for 30 minutes or until the thighs have reached an internal temperature of 165F.
If you prefer a crispy skin, add a slice of butter to the skin about 10 minutes before the correct temperature has been reached.
