In a large mixing bowl, whisk the olive oil, garlic, paprika, oregano, thyme, salt, pepper and turmeric. Add the chicken thighs and mix until the chicken is well coated. Allow it to marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes.
In a 9x13 baking dish, add the rice, olive oil, onion, salt, pepper and hot water. Stir to combine everything together.
Arrange the marinated chicken thighs over the rice. Cover with foil and bake covered for 45 minutes.
Uncover and continue to bake uncovered for 15 more minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and browned.
Remove from the oven. Use tongs to set the chicken aside and fluff the rice with a fork. Return the chicken back on top of the rice, garnish with fresh parsley and serve.
