Baked Chicken Thighs

by

Instructions:

  1. Prep: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Make the Rub: In a small bowl, combine all the dried spices (garlic powder through black pepper).

  3. Prepare Chicken: Pat the chicken thighs completely dry with paper towels—this is the secret to crispy skin. Place them on the baking sheet.

  4. 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.

  5. Bake: Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the skin is golden and crispy and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

  6. Rest & Serve: Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Perfect with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
