Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons Old Bay seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for extra color)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice (optional, for serving)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). If grilling, preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to ensure the skin gets crispy.
In a small bowl, combine the Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, paprika (if using), salt, and black pepper.
Rub the chicken thighs all over with olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture generously over both sides of the chicken thighs, pressing it in gently for even coverage.
Place the chicken thighs skin-side up on a wire rack set over a baking sheet, or directly on a grill grate if grilling.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is crispy and golden. If grilling, cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the oven or grill and let rest for 5 minutes.
Drizzle with lemon juice before serving, if desired.
Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or a crisp salad.
