Ingredients
- 8 pieces boneless chicken thighs with skin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together the sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
Step 3
Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel to ensure the skin is as dry as possible. This helps achieve a crispy texture.
Step 4
Rub the olive oil over each chicken thigh, then evenly sprinkle the spice mixture over both sides of the chicken thighs.
Step 5
Place the chicken thighs skin-side up on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching to allow air to circulate and crisp the skin.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is golden brown and crispy.
Step 7
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and drizzle with lemon juice, allowing the juices to enhance the flavor.
Step 8
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Step 9
Serve hot along with your favorite Paleo side dishes like roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
