Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees then get out a 9x13" baking pan and set aside.

Step 2

Remove the chicken thighs from their packaging then trim off excess skin if necessary. Pat very dry with paper towels then place the thighs inside the baking pan.

Step 3

To a small bowl add the ingredients for the seasoning mix then stir to combine. Drizzle the tops of the chicken thighs with the extra virgin olive oil then sprinkle on the seasoning mix. Use your hands to rub the oil and seasonings all over the fronts and backs of the thighs.

Step 4

Bake for 30-40 minutes or until the thickest part of the chicken thighs reach an internal temperature of 180-190 degrees. Note: chicken thighs only need to reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees, but they're much more tender when they're cooked to a higher internal temperature. Briefly broil if desired to further crisp up the skin then let the chicken thighs rest for 10 minutes before serving.
