Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 4 pieces Chicken thighs Bone-in, skin-on for best results
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil Extra virgin recommended
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Adjust to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Black pepper Freshly ground for better flavor
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika Smoked paprika adds an extra layer of flavor
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh herbs Such as rosemary or thyme, chopped

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Pat the chicken thighs dry and place them in a baking dish.
  3. Drizzle olive oil over the chicken, then season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
  4. Rub the spices well into the skin for the best flavor.
Cooking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the skin is golden brown.

Notes

Ensure the chicken thighs are completely dry before seasoning for extra crispy skin. Season generously, as the chicken thighs benefit from bold flavors. Let them rest for a few minutes after cooking; this helps keep the meat juicy.
