Share:
Ingredients
- 2 tsp smoked paprika*
- ½ tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp sea salt to taste
- 1.5 to 2 pounds bone-in chicken thighs 4 thighs
- 2 Tbsp avocado oil
Instructions
- Stir all of the spices together in a small bowl to create the dry rub.
- Place the raw chicken thighs in a zip lock bag, along with the seasoning blend and the avocado oil. Seal the bag and thoroughly shake everything until all of the chicken is coated in the seasoning mixture.
- For the best results, allow the chicken to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes, up to 24 hours; however, if you don’t have time to marinate, you can immediately bake the chicken.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and transfer the seasoned chicken thighs to a casserole dish, skin side up.
- Bake for 40 minutes at 375, then increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees F and bake for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until the skin reaches your desired level of crisp. The chicken is cooked through when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. To check the temperature, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the largest thigh to get an accurate read.
- Remove the chicken from the oven and allow it to rest for 10 to 15 minutes before serving it with your favorite side dishes.
Notes
- *You can also use sweet paprika, which is often my personal preference over smoked paprika.
