Ingredients
- 8 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, optional garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to ensure crispy skin. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 3
In a small mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a seasoning paste.
Step 4
Brush the seasoning paste evenly over the chicken thighs, ensuring they are fully coated. Use the back of a spoon or your hands to gently massage the seasoning into the chicken.
Step 5
Drizzle the lemon juice over the chicken thighs for added brightness and flavor.
Step 6
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the skin is golden and crisp.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. This helps retain its juices.
Step 8
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve hot with your favorite sides such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a crisp green salad.
