Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Skinless chicken thighs
- as needed Olive oil spray
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This will help the seasoning stick better.
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and ground black pepper.
Place the chicken thighs in a large bowl or a resealable plastic bag. Sprinkle the mixed spices over the chicken thighs and add the lemon juice. Toss to coat the chicken evenly.
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup. Place a wire rack on top if you have one. This will help the chicken cook evenly.
Arrange the chicken thighs on the prepared baking sheet or rack. Make sure they are spaced apart for even cooking.
Lightly spray the chicken thighs with olive oil spray. This will help them achieve a golden color while baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
Once done, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the chicken thighs rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the chicken thighs with your choice of side dishes such as steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
