Baked Chicken Thighs
Instructions:
-
Make the Rub: In a small bowl, combine all the dried spices (garlic powder through black pepper).
-
Prepare Chicken: Pat the chicken thighs completely dry with paper towels—this is the secret to crispy skin. Place them on the baking sheet.
-
Season: Drizzle the chicken with olive oil and rub it over all sides. Evenly sprinkle the seasoning blend over both sides of each thigh, pressing gently to help it adhere.
-
Bake: Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the skin is golden and crispy and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
-
Rest & Serve: Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Perfect with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
