Tender and juicy baked chicken thighs without the skin, seasoned simply for a flavorful and healthy meal.
8 skinless, boneless chicken thighs (about 1.5 pounds)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Place the chicken thighs in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to coat evenly.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the chicken thighs and rub it in to coat all sides.
Arrange the chicken thighs in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet or in a baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
