Ingredients

• 6 pieces Skinless chicken thighs
• 0 as needed Olive oil spray
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This will help the seasoning stick better.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and ground black pepper.

Step 4

Place the chicken thighs in a large bowl or a resealable plastic bag. Sprinkle the mixed spices over the chicken thighs and add the lemon juice. Toss to coat the chicken evenly.

Step 5

Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup. Place a wire rack on top if you have one. This will help the chicken cook evenly.

Step 6

Arrange the chicken thighs on the prepared baking sheet or rack. Make sure they are spaced apart for even cooking.

Step 7

Lightly spray the chicken thighs with olive oil spray. This will help them achieve a golden color while baking.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 9

Once done, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the chicken thighs rest for a few minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve the chicken thighs with your choice of side dishes such as steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
