Ingredients
-
6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
-
2 tbsp olive oil
-
1 tsp garlic powder
-
1 tsp onion powder
-
1 tsp paprika
-
1 tsp dried thyme
-
1 tsp salt
-
1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
-
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels.
-
In a small bowl, mix the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper.
-
Rub the chicken with olive oil, then coat evenly with the spice mix.
-
Place the chicken thighs skin-side up on a baking sheet or in a baking dish.

Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
-
For extra crispy skin, broil the chicken for the last 2–3 minutes.
