Easy Baked Chicken Thighs


Description

Crispy, golden skin paired with juicy, well-seasoned meat, making this dish a comfort food classic that’s easy to prepare.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 pieces chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)

Instructions

  1. Pat the chicken thighs completely dry with paper towels.
  2. Drizzle olive oil over each thigh and rub thoroughly.
  3. Mix all spices in a small bowl and sprinkle evenly over the thighs.
  4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the thighs skin-side up without crowding.
  5. Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C) and roast for 35-40 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  6. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For extra-crispy skin, consider broiling for 1-2 minutes after roasting, watching carefully to avoid burning.
