Print Recipe

Enjoy these incredibly crispy baked chicken thighs, packed with juicy flavor and simple to make for any weeknight meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Pat the chicken thighs completely dry with paper towels. This is key for crispy skin!
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt.
  4. Rub the spice mixture all over the chicken thighs, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  5. Place the chicken thighs on a baking sheet, skin-side up. Make sure they have a little space between them.
  6. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the skin is golden brown and crispy, and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  7. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For extra crispy skin, you can place the chicken thighs under the broiler for the last 1-2 minutes of cooking, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  • Feel free to add other herbs and spices like dried thyme, rosemary, or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the rub.
  • Serve with your favorite side dishes like roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
