Crispy Oven Baked Chicken Thighs

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9x13 pan or 3 quart baking dish.

Step 2

Trim the chicken thighs of any excess fat or skin. Place chicken thighs directly into the prepared dish, skin side up.

Step 3

Drizzle chicken skin with olive oil and rub to coat.

Step 4

In a small bowl, stir together paprika, basil, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle evenly on top of chicken thighs.

Step 5

Roast chicken in the preheated 450 degree oven for 35-40 minutes, or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

Step 6

Remove from oven and brush the tops of each piece of chicken with the juices from the pan. Place under the broiler setting for 1 to 2 minutes to finish and add extra crispiness to the skin.
