Description

Delight in these Crispy and Juicy Baked Chicken Thighs, perfectly seasoned and baked for a flavorful meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 pieces bone-in skin-on chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme or Italian seasoning

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and pat the chicken thighs dry thoroughly with paper towels.
  2. Place the chicken in a baking dish or a sheet pan, ensuring the skin side is facing up.
  3. Drizzle the olive oil over the thighs and generously sprinkle all the seasonings on top.
  4. Gently rub the seasonings into the skin, making sure every piece is seasoned well.
  5. Bake uncovered for 35-45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  6. For even crispier skin, switch to broil for an additional 2-3 minutes at the end of the cooking time.
  7. Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Pat the chicken dry for crispiness and always bake skin side up for best results. You can spice up the dish with additional seasonings.
