Using a large shallow dish or bowl, mix the lemon juice with the paprika and red onions.
Make some slash cuts into the chicken thighs and set them in the juice and stir well to coat. Set aside for 10 minutes.

Give everything a good mix, then cover and chill for at least 1 hour but overnight is ideal if you have the time.
