Ingredients
  

For the Chicken

  • 4 pieces Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt

For the Marinade

  • 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon Dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon Baking powder Helps achieve crispy skin

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to the desired temperature.
  • Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, kosher salt, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, oregano, and rosemary.
  • Coat the chicken thighs thoroughly with the marinade.
  • Sprinkle baking powder over the thighs and work it into the marinade.

Baking

  • Arrange the chicken thighs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Transfer the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for approximately 40-45 minutes, watching for doneness and crispy skin.

Notes

Make sure to dry the chicken skin before seasoning for optimal crispiness. Allowing the chicken to rest before serving preserves moisture.
