Cooking steps
  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with a small amount of olive oil.

  2. 2

    Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to ensure crispy skin, then rub all over with olive oil.

  3. 3

    In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried thyme, kosher salt, and black pepper.

  4. 4

    Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the chicken, making sure to coat each piece thoroughly on both sides.

  5. 5

    Arrange the chicken thighs skin-side up in the prepared baking dish. Bake uncovered on the center rack for 35-40 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the juices run clear.

  6. 6

    For extra crispness, broil the chicken for the final 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.

  7. 7

    Let rest for 5 minutes before serving to retain juiciness.

Personalized Q&A
Q. What's the key ingredient in this recipe?
The key ingredient is bone-in chicken thighs. They provide rich flavor, retain juiciness during baking, and hold onto the seasoning blend, making each bite tender and delicious.
Q. How should I manage heat during cooking for best results?
Bake the chicken at 400°F to seal in moisture while crisping the skin. For extra crispness, use the broiler for 2-3 minutes at the end, but monitor closely to avoid burning.
Q. How can I ensure the chicken stays juicy and not dry?
Dry the chicken thighs before seasoning and avoid overcrowding them in the baking dish. Bake until just cooked through (165°F internal temperature), then let rest to preserve juiciness.

Each serving provides about 300 kcal, 34g of protein (46% of calories), 4g of carbs (5%), and 16g of fat (49%), making it a high-protein, low-carb option.
