Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and dried thyme until well-combined.
- Rub the mixture all over the chicken thighs, making sure to coat them generously for flavor.
- Place the chicken thighs in a baking dish with the skin side facing up, allowing for that lovely crispy finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through, and the skin is beautifully crispy.
- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving to ensure juiciness and flavor is locked in.
