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 sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes.
- Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel.
- In a small bowl, whisk together garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Toss the chicken with olive oil and about two-thirds of the spice mix, coating each piece completely.
- Place the chicken thighs skin-side up on a rack set over a baking sheet and sprinkle the remaining spice mix on top.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 170°F (77°C). Turn on the top broiler for 2 to 3 minutes for a golden crust.
- Let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Use a rack for baking to ensure crispy skin and allow chicken to reach room temperature before cooking for even results.
