Baked Chicken Thighs



Baked Chicken Thighs

There’s nothing like freshly baked chicken thighs served with mashed or roasted potatoes and a side vegetable for dinner. Throw in some homemade bread and a salad and you’ve got a great meal to enjoy. I love a piece of chicken with crispy skin cooked to perfection. Yum.

½ teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon onion powder

¼ teaspoon paprika

Instructions 

Preheat Oven: Start by heating your oven to 400°F.

Prepare Chicken: Take the chicken thighs out of the fridge. Pat it dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.

Mix Spices: In a small bowl, combine all herbs and spices. Set aside 1/4 teaspoon of this mixture for later use, and stir in the olive oil

Season Chicken: Coat the chicken thighs evenly with the spice and oil mixture, making sure to get under the skin for enhanced flavor.

Arrange for Baking: Place the chicken thigh on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Sprinkle with the reserved spice mix, pressing gently to ensure the seasoning adheres well.

Bake: Cook the chicken in the oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature hits 170°F, ensuring it’s cooked perfectly.

Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before eating.
