Ingredients
6 chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Directions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Prepare Chicken: Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. This helps the skin get crispy.
- Mix Spices: In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
- Season Chicken: Rub the chicken thighs with olive oil, then sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over both sides. Make sure the chicken is well coated.
- Bake: Place the chicken thighs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the skin is crispy and golden brown.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
