Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces boneless chicken thighs with skin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleaning.
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme, sea salt, and black pepper.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps achieve crispy skin.
Rub the olive oil and spice mixture generously over each chicken thigh, ensuring they are well-coated.
Place the chicken thighs skin-side up on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are spaced apart for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the oven and drizzle with fresh lemon juice for added flavor.
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve warm and enjoy your Whole30 Crispy Baked Boneless Chicken Thighs with Skin!
