Description

These delicious baked chicken thighs are a symphony of flavors, featuring a crispy, golden-brown skin that gives way to tender, juicy meat. Each bite is infused with a blend of aromatic herbs and spices, creating a mouthwatering experience that is both satisfying and comforting.

Ingredients

  • Chicken Thighs: 4 bone-in, skin-on thighs
  • Olive Oil: 2 tablespoons, for coating
  • Garlic Powder: 1 teaspoon, for flavor
  • Onion Powder: 1 teaspoon, for depth
  • Paprika: 1 teaspoon, for color and smokiness
  • Salt: 1 teaspoon, to taste
  • Pepper: 1/2 teaspoon, to taste
  • Fresh Rosemary: 1 tablespoon, chopped, for freshness

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to ensure crispy skin.
  3. In a large bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and rosemary.
  4. Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and coat them evenly with the spice mixture.
  5. Place the chicken thighs skin-side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is crispy.
  7. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving to retain juices.

Notes

  • Make-ahead: Marinate the chicken thighs in the spice mixture for up to 24 hours in the refrigerator for enhanced flavor.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Substitutions: Use skinless chicken thighs for a lower-fat option or swap rosemary for thyme for a different flavor profile.
