Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and place them in a baking dish.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and thyme.
  4. Rub the mixture over the chicken thighs until well coated.
Cooking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and is golden brown.
  2. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Make sure to dry the chicken thighs well before seasoning to create a crispy skin. You can marinate the chicken in the seasoning mix for a few hours or overnight for even more flavor. For extra crispy skin, broil the chicken for the last 2-3 minutes of baking.
