Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless chicken thighs with skin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture, which will help achieve crispy skin.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to create a seasoning mixture.
Step 4
Place the chicken thighs in a large mixing bowl and pour the seasoning mixture over them. Use your hands to coat the chicken thoroughly, making sure the seasoning covers both sides and under the skin.
Step 5
Place the seasoned chicken thighs skin side up on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring there's some space between each piece to allow for even cooking.
Step 6
Drizzle the lemon juice evenly over the chicken thighs for an added layer of flavor.
Step 7
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and golden brown and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C). You may check using a meat thermometer.
Step 8
Once done, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute and ensures moist chicken thighs.
Step 9
Serve the crispy baked chicken thighs with your favorite sides such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
