Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 8 medium chicken thighs (bone in, skin on )
  • 1 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Instruction

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with high-heat-resistant parchment paper.
  • Arrange the chicken thighs in a single layer in the prepared pan. It's best if they do not touch each other. Flatten them and gently stretch the skin so that it covers the meat completely.
  • Sprinkle the chicken pieces with the seasonings. Bake them until the skin is browned and crispy and an instant-read thermometer not touching the bones reads 165 degrees F, about 45 minutes. 
  • Transfer the thighs to a serving plate. Loosely cover them with foil and allow them to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
