Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces boneless chicken thighs with skin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius).
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and dried thyme.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels, ensuring the skin is as dry as possible for maximum crispiness.
Brush the olive oil and spice mixture evenly over the chicken thighs, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
Place the chicken thighs skin-side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a non-stick baking mat.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, until the skin is crispy and the chicken is cooked through to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius).
For extra crispiness, broil the chicken for an additional 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye on them to prevent burning.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes.
Drizzle the freshly squeezed lemon juice over the chicken thighs for added flavor and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
