Ingredients

8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 2 lbs)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Trim excess skin if desired.
In a small bowl, mix salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and thyme.
Drizzle olive oil over chicken and rub to coat. Sprinkle seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of thighs.
Place chicken skin-side up on prepared baking sheet, spacing apart.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, until skin is crispy and internal temperature reaches 185°F (85°C). Let rest 5 minutes before serving.

Tips

For extra crispy skin, broil on high for the last 2-3 minutes.
Serve with roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days.
