Juicy and flavorful baked chicken thighs with crispy skin, seasoned simply and baked to perfection at the ideal temperature for tender results.

Ingredients

Scale

8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to ensure crispy skin.
Place the chicken thighs in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to coat evenly.
In a small bowl, mix together kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and dried thyme.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken thighs, rubbing it in gently.
Arrange the chicken thighs skin-side up on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a lightly greased baking dish, spacing them apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
