Main Ingredients

  • 4 pieces Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs Adds flavor and moisture
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil Helps achieve crispiness

Seasoning

  • 1 tablespoon Kosher salt Enhances overall flavor
  • 1 tablespoon Smoked paprika Provides depth and subtle smokiness
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder Adds savory richness
  • 1 teaspoon Onion powder Contributes a mild sweetness
  • 1 teaspoon Dried thyme Offers a hint of earthiness
  • 1 teaspoon Dried oregano Adds a touch of Mediterranean flavor
  • 1 teaspoon Dried rosemary Provides aromatic notes
  • 1 teaspoon Baking powder Aids in creating a crispy skin

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, kosher salt, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, dried oregano, dried rosemary, and baking powder.
  • Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels.
  • Rub the spice mixture generously all over the chicken thighs.
  • Place the chicken thighs skin-side up on a baking sheet with ample space between each piece.

Cooking

  • Bake the chicken until it’s cooked through and the skin is golden and crispy, approximately 35-40 minutes.
  • Let the chicken rest briefly after removing it from the oven.

Notes

Ensure that the chicken is patted dry for maximum crispiness. Consider marinating the chicken in the seasoned oil for a couple of hours or overnight for enhanced flavor.
