Ingredients
4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 1.5 pounds)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
Instructions
Preheat the 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 or on a baking sheet.
Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken thighs and rub to coat evenly.
In a small bowl, mix together the kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and dried thyme.
Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken thighs, rubbing it in gently.
Arrange the chicken thighs skin-side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a wire rack set over a baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is crispy and golden brown.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
