Preheat the oven to 200°C/390°F.
Season chicken thighs with paprika, thyme, salt and pepper on both sides.
Cook the thighs in an oven-proof pan set over medium-high heat, skin-side down until the skin is crisp and golden.
Flip over and cook for another 5 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Saute the onion and garlic in the same pan until fragrant then add the rice, lemon zest, lemon juice and stock/water.
Bring to a simmer then place the chicken back on top. Cover with a lid then place in the oven.
Bake the chicken and rice for 20-25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the rice is fluffy and tender.
Scatter over chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
