Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs Tender, juicy meat
Seasonings
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil Adds moisture and enhances flavor
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder Savory, aromatic seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika Depth and subtle heat
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs Blend of flavor, aroma
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder Adds sweetness and complexity
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt Enhances overall flavor
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper Adds mild heat

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large bowl, place the chicken thighs and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle all the seasonings on top and toss everything together until the chicken is well coated.
Cooking
  1. Transfer the seasoned chicken thighs to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread them out evenly.
  2. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Notes

Allow the chicken thighs to sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes before baking for more even cooking. Using a meat thermometer is key to ensuring the chicken is perfectly cooked. Pair your chicken with sides like steamed broccoli or a salad for a balanced meal. Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to achieve better caramelization.
