Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Baking Rack
  • Mixing Bowl

Ingredients

  • 1.5–2 lbs pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs (about 6–8 thighs)
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • ½ tablespoon onion powder
  • ½ tablespoon salt
  • ½ tablespoon pepper
  • ½ tablespoon Italian seasoning

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a baking dish for easy cleanup.
  • Use paper towels to pat the chicken thighs dry. This helps them crisp up slightly in the oven and allows the seasoning to stick.
  • In a large bowl, drizzle the olive oil over the chicken thighs. Sprinkle all the seasonings evenly over both sides. Rub or toss to coat well.
  • Place the chicken thighs in a single layer with a little space between each piece so they roast evenly.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) when measured with a meat thermometer. Cooking time may vary slightly depending on the size of the thighs.
  • If desired, turn on the broiler for the last 2–3 minutes to lightly brown the tops.
  • Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving to retain juices. Serve hot or cool and store for meal prep.
