Ingredients
6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

2. Drizzle the thighs with olive oil and rub it in evenly.
3. In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and dried thyme.
4. Sprinkle the seasoning mix over the chicken thighs and press gently to adhere.
5. Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the skin is crisp and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
6. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving to retain the juices.
Notes
Use bone-in, skin-on chicken for the crispiest and juiciest results.
Drying the chicken skin thoroughly is key to getting it crispy.
Let the chicken rest before serving for maximum juiciness.
