Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless chicken thighs with skin
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to ensure they will be crispy after being baked.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and dried thyme.
Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and toss them well to coat evenly with the spice mixture.
Place the chicken thighs skin-side up on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not touching each other.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken skin is crispy and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. This helps the juices redistribute throughout the meat.
Serve hot with your choice of side dishes, such as steamed vegetables or a salad.
