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 the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel to remove moisture.
- In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, oregano, thyme, kosher salt, and black pepper to create the seasoning mix.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken with the olive oil and two-thirds of the seasoning mix, ensuring all sides of the chicken are coated.
- Place the chicken on a rack over a baking sheet and sprinkle the remaining seasoning on top.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 170°F. For extra crispiness, broil for 2 to 3 minutes at the end.
- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
For even more flavor, marinate the chicken thighs in the spice mix for a few hours or overnight.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked to the proper temperature.
Serve with your favorite sides like roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
