Ingredients

  • 6 chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme or oregano

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F).
  2. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels.
  3. Rub with olive oil and season evenly with garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and dried herbs.
  4. Place chicken thighs skin-side up on a baking sheet or dish, leaving space between pieces.
  5. Bake for 35–45 minutes until skin is crispy and chicken is cooked through.
  6. Broil for 2–3 minutes at the end for extra crispiness if desired.
  7. Remove from oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Dry the chicken thoroughly for crispier skin.
  • Use a rack on the baking sheet for better airflow.
  • Add honey glaze for a sweet-savory variation.
  • Include chili powder or cayenne for spice.
  • Marinate beforehand for deeper flavor.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Reheat in oven to maintain crispiness.
