Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time40 minutes
Total Time50 minutes
Servings: 6 people

Ingredients

  • 3.5 lb bone-in skin-on chicken thighs
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 3 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1.5 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp paprika

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and set aside.
  • Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels, removing as much moisture as possible.
  • Place the thighs skin-side up on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the olive oil over the thighs and rub it into the skin to coat evenly.
  • In a small bowl, combine Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
  • Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over all sides of the chicken and rub it into the skin.
  • Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the skin is crisp and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 165°F (74°C).
  • Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.

Equipment

  • Rimmed Baking Sheet
  • Aluminum Foil
  • Paper Towels
  • Small Bowl
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Meat Thermometer

Notes

  • Patting the skin dry helps it crisp in the oven.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure doneness.
  • You can place a wire rack on the baking sheet for even air circulation.
