Ingredients
4 boneless skinless chicken thighs
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, dried thyme, and dried oregano until well combined.
Evenly coat the chicken thighs with the spice mixture, making sure every piece is well-covered.
Lay the seasoned chicken thighs on a baking sheet, ensuring they are not crowded.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked with an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving, allowing the juices to redistribute.
Notes
For a twist, consider marinating the chicken thighs in a mix of citrus juices or using bone-in skinless thighs for extra flavor.
