Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place the chicken thighs in a baking dish large enough to hold them in a single layer.
Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken and rub it in to coat evenly.
In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the chicken thighs, ensuring all sides are well coated.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake the chicken for 40-45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is golden and crispy.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the baked chicken with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or mashed potatoes.
