Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Thighs:
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
Seasoning:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Garnish:
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or greasing it lightly.
- Season the Chicken: In a large bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken thighs and coat them evenly with the seasoning.
- Bake the Chicken: Arrange the chicken thighs on the baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 20–25 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the edges are golden brown. Optionally, broil for an additional 2–3 minutes for a crispier top.
- Rest and Serve: Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
