Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper
  • Meat Thermometer

Ingredients
  

Chicken Thighs

  • 6 boneless skinless chicken thighs tender and juicy every time

Seasoning

  • 2 tbsp olive oil keeps everything moist and flavorful
  • 1 tsp garlic powder adds a deep, savory aroma
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika brings gentle warmth and color
  • 1 tsp onion powder a subtle layer of sweetness
  • 1 tsp dried thyme for earthy, comforting notes
  • 0.75 tsp salt enhances all those flavors
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper a hint of spice and balance

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels to help them brown well in the oven.
  • Rub olive oil over each thigh. In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the chicken.
  • Place the chicken thighs on the baking sheet with space between each one to allow hot air to circulate.
  • Bake for 20–25 minutes or until a thermometer inserted in the thickest part reads 165°F (74°C).
  • Optional: Broil for an additional 2–3 minutes to get crispy, golden edges. Watch closely to avoid burning.
  • Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.

Notes

✅ For extra crispiness, use a wire rack on top of your baking sheet.
✅ A squeeze of lemon juice just before serving brightens the flavor.
✅ These thighs are perfect for salads, wraps, or meal prep bowls.
