Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a small bowl, mix the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to ensure crispy skin.
Rub the olive oil over the chicken thighs, making sure they are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the salt and pepper mixture evenly over the chicken, rubbing it into the skin.
Place the chicken thighs, skin-side up, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crispy, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
Serve hot with your choice of low-carb vegetables or salad.
