Ingredients
- 6 pieces boneless chicken thighs with skin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius).
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and dried thyme.
Step 3
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels, ensuring the skin is as dry as possible for maximum crispiness.
Step 4
Brush the olive oil and spice mixture evenly over the chicken thighs, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
Step 5
Place the chicken thighs skin-side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a non-stick baking mat.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, until the skin is crispy and the chicken is cooked through to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius).
Step 7
For extra crispiness, broil the chicken for an additional 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye on them to prevent burning.
Step 8
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes.
Step 9
Drizzle the freshly squeezed lemon juice over the chicken thighs for added flavor and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
