Ingredients
- 1 1 teaspoon EACH: paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder
- ½ ½ teaspoon EACH: Italian seasoning and salt
- 8 8 boneless chicken thighs
- 2 2 teaspoons olive oil

Instructions
- Mix the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and salt in a small bowl then sprinkle the spices over the chicken.
