Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  4. Rub the mixture all over the chicken thighs, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  5. Place the chicken thighs skin-side up on a baking sheet.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is crispy.
  7. Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes.
  8. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired, then serve.

Notes

For extra crispy skin, consider broiling the chicken for the last few minutes of cooking. Also, letting the chicken rest after baking allows the juices to redistribute.
