• 8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.

2. 2

   Pat the chicken thighs dry thoroughly with paper towels for extra crispy skin.

3. 3

   In a small bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, and dried thyme.

4. 4

   Brush the chicken thighs all over with olive oil, then sprinkle the seasoning blend generously on both sides.

5. 5

   Arrange the chicken thighs, skin side up, on the wire rack. Bake for 35 minutes or until the skin is crispy and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

6. 6

   Remove from oven, let rest 5 minutes, and serve hot.
