a perfectly baked chicken thighs
Ingredients:
- 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 lemon, sliced
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
- Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps the skin get crispy during baking.
- Season the Chicken: In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Rub the chicken thighs all over with olive oil, then evenly sprinkle the spice mixture on both sides.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the seasoned chicken thighs on the prepared baking sheet, skin side up. Arrange lemon slices around the chicken for added flavor.
This method ensures juicy, flavorful chicken thighs with crispy skin.
Hope you enjoy this deliciousness!
