Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. This helps ensure crispy skin.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to form a seasoning paste.
Step 4
Rub the seasoning paste evenly all over the chicken thighs, making sure to get under the skin for maximum flavor.
Step 5
Place the seasoned chicken thighs skin-side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or in a lightly greased oven-safe skillet.
Step 6
Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken's internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the skin is golden and crispy.
Step 7
Remove the chicken thighs from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 8
Serve with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad.
