Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Thighs:

  • 3 pounds bone-in chicken thighs, about 6-8 thighs

Seasoning:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with foil and place a metal, oven-safe cooling rack on top. Set aside.
  2. Prepare Chicken: Pat chicken thighs dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
  3. Mix Seasonings: In a small bowl, combine onion powder, garlic powder, brown sugar, salt, paprika, pepper, and cayenne.
  4. Coat Chicken: In a large bowl, add chicken thighs, drizzle with olive oil, and toss with the spice mixture until well coated.
  5. Bake Chicken: Arrange the seasoned chicken thighs on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 35-45 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  6. Crisp the Skin (Optional): For extra crispiness, broil the chicken for 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  7. Serve: Remove from the oven and enjoy your crispy baked chicken thighs!
