Ingredients
Scale
- 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels.
- In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Rub this mixture all over the chicken thighs, ensuring they’re well-coated.
- Place the seasoned thighs skin-side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for about 45–50 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Broil for an extra crispy skin for the last 3–5 minutes.
- Allow the chicken to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Notes
Feel free to swap bone-in thighs for boneless or skinless chicken; just adjust the cooking time accordingly. Serve with roasted vegetables or a fresh garden salad.
