Preheat your oven to 425Β°F (220Β°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easier cleanup.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels, ensuring they are completely dry to help achieve a crispy skin.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and dried thyme to form a paste.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over the chicken thighs, making sure to cover both the skin and the underside.
Place the chicken thighs skin-side up on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece to allow for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the skin is golden brown and crispy, and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165Β°F (74Β°C).
Remove the chicken thighs from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve with your choice of low-carb sides, such as a fresh green salad or roasted vegetables.
