Description
A cozy dinner delight featuring crispy skin and tender meat, perfect for family gatherings or weeknight dinners.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels, ensuring that the skin gets nice and crispy.
- Mix the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Rub the seasoning mixture all over the chicken thighs, making sure to get under the skin for that extra flavor.
- Place the chicken thighs on a baking sheet, skin side up, leaving a little space between them for even cooking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is beautifully crispy.
- Let rest for a few minutes before serving to lock in the juices.
- Garnish with fresh herbs if desired to add a pop of color and flavor.
Notes
For deeper flavor, marinate the chicken with the spice blend a few hours in advance or overnight. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
