Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 pieces chicken thighs, bone-in, skin-on
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp chicken broth (optional)

Equipment

  • baking dish glass or ceramic works best
  • meat thermometer for checking doneness

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F and grease a baking dish lightly.
  2. Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Let sit at room temp 15 minutes.
  3. Mix spices in a small bowl. Rub chicken with oil, then coat with seasoning.
  4. Place in dish skin-side up. Add broth to bottom if using.
  5. Bake uncovered 35–45 minutes or until internal temp reaches 165°F.
  6. Let rest 10 minutes before serving to retain juices.

Notes

Let chicken rest after baking to retain juiciness. Use bone-in thighs for best texture. Optional broth adds moisture without steaming.
