Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces boneless chicken thighs with skin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix together the sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel to ensure the skin is as dry as possible. This helps achieve a crispy texture.
Rub the olive oil over each chicken thigh, then evenly sprinkle the spice mixture over both sides of the chicken thighs.
Place the chicken thighs skin-side up on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching to allow air to circulate and crisp the skin.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is golden brown and crispy.
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and drizzle with lemon juice, allowing the juices to enhance the flavor.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve hot along with your favorite Paleo side dishes like roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
