Ingredients
Scale
- 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp dried rosemary
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Season the Chicken: Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Rub olive oil over each thigh, then season with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
- Bake: Place the chicken thighs skin-side up on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is crispy and golden.
- Broil (Optional): For extra crispy skin, broil the chicken thighs for 2-3 minutes at the end of cooking.
- Serve: Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy with your favorite side dishes!
Notes
- For a smoky flavor, add a pinch of smoked paprika to the seasoning blend.
- Bone-in, skin-on thighs yield the juiciest results, but you can use boneless thighs if preferred—adjust the cooking time accordingly.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
