Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless chicken thighs with skin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture, which will help achieve crispy skin.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to create a seasoning mixture.
Place the chicken thighs in a large mixing bowl and pour the seasoning mixture over them. Use your hands to coat the chicken thoroughly, making sure the seasoning covers both sides and under the skin.
Place the seasoned chicken thighs skin side up on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring there's some space between each piece to allow for even cooking.
Drizzle the lemon juice evenly over the chicken thighs for an added layer of flavor.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and golden brown and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C). You may check using a meat thermometer.
Once done, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute and ensures moist chicken thighs.
Serve the crispy baked chicken thighs with your favorite sides such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
