Ingredients
- 6 pieces boneless chicken thighs with skin
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 slice lemon
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. This setup allows air circulation, helping the chicken skin get crispy during baking.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, black pepper, and baking powder. The baking powder will contribute to the crispiness of the skin, without leaving a noticeable taste.
Step 3
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which is crucial for achieving crispy skin.
Step 4
Rub each chicken thigh with olive oil, ensuring that the skin is fully coated. This step helps the seasoning stick and promotes browning.
Step 5
Evenly sprinkle the dry seasoning mixture over both sides of the chicken thighs. Gently press the seasoning onto the chicken to ensure it adheres well.
Step 6
Place the chicken thighs skin side up on the prepared wire rack. Make sure there is space between each piece for even cooking.
Step 7
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the skin is crispy and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) using a meat thermometer.
Step 8
Once done, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes. Resting allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the meat tender and juicy.
Step 9
Garnish the chicken with freshly chopped parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice before serving. This adds a fresh brightness that complements the seasoned, crispy skin.
Step 10
Serve these soy-free crispy chicken thighs with your favorite side dishes like roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
