Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to ensure crispy skin. Place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Brush or rub the seasoning blend evenly over both sides of the chicken thighs, ensuring the skin is well-coated.
Arrange the chicken thighs skin-side up on the baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.
For extra crispy skin, place the chicken under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
Remove the chicken thighs from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
