Juicy & Crispy Baked Bone-In Chicken Thighs

Recipe video above. These baked chicken thighs are my weeknight go-to recipe. They're coated in a simple spice blend and roasted at 425 degrees Fahrenheit until the skin is crisp, and the meat is juicy and tender. They’re quick to get into the oven, full of flavor, and a dinner you’ll want to make again and again.

📝 Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons paprika
• 1 tablespoon EACH: onion powder and garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon EACH: chili powder, oregano, salt, and pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 lb bone-in chicken thighs (see notes)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

2. 2Prep chicken: Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken thighs and then sprinkle the thighs with the spices. If you're not planning on eating the skin, sprinkle the spices under the skin. (See notes)
