Ingredients
Scale
- 8 chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 ½ teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and let the chicken thighs come to room temperature. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
- In a small bowl, mix the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper to create the spice blend.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the chicken thighs and drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with ⅔ of the spice blend. Use your hands to coat the chicken thoroughly.
- Place the chicken thighs on a rack set over a baking sheet. Sprinkle the remaining spice mix over the top.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 170°F. For extra crispiness, broil for 2-3 minutes. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs for the best flavor and moisture.
For added crispness, you can broil the chicken for a few minutes at the end of baking.
Feel free to adjust the spices according to your taste preferences.
