Description

Deliciously crispy baked chicken thighs with a flavorful seasoning blend.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 0 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment for easy cleanup.
  2. In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  3. Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Rub each piece with olive oil.
  4. Sprinkle seasoning all over chicken, including under the skin.
  5. Arrange chicken skin-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake uncovered for 35–45 minutes until skin is golden and internal temp is 165°F.
  7. Let rest 5 minutes before serving to lock in juices.

Notes

  • For best results, use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches the appropriate internal temperature.
