Ingredients

• 6 pieces Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
• 2 tablespoons Old Bay seasoning
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for extra color)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice (optional, for serving)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). If grilling, preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 2

Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to ensure the skin gets crispy.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine the Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, paprika (if using), salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Rub the chicken thighs all over with olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Step 5

Sprinkle the seasoning mixture generously over both sides of the chicken thighs, pressing it in gently for even coverage.

Step 6

Place the chicken thighs skin-side up on a wire rack set over a baking sheet, or directly on a grill grate if grilling.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is crispy and golden. If grilling, cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked through.

Step 8

Remove the chicken from the oven or grill and let rest for 5 minutes.

Step 9

Drizzle with lemon juice before serving, if desired.

Step 10

Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or a crisp salad.
