Learn how to make delicious baked chicken thighs with crispy skin and juicy meat. This simple recipe is packed with flavor and perfect for a satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (4 pieces)
  • Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
  • Garlic powder (1 teaspoon)
  • Onion powder (1 teaspoon)
  • Paprika (1 teaspoon)
  • Dried thyme (1 teaspoon)
  • Salt (1 teaspoon)
  • Black pepper (1/2 teaspoon)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature is key to achieving a crispy skin.
  2. Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  3. Season the Chicken: In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture all over the chicken thighs.
  4. Arrange on a Baking Sheet: Place the seasoned thighs skin-side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. Roast the Chicken: Bake in the preheated oven for about 45–50 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Broil for extra crispiness in the last few minutes.
  6. Rest and Serve: Allow the chicken to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
