Crispy Oven Baked Chicken Thighs
Description
This recipe uses six bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs trimmed of excess fat and lightly coated in olive oil. A spice mix of paprika, dried basil, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper is evenly rubbed over the chicken. Baking in a 450°F oven for 35-40 minutes cooks the thighs through while crisping the skin.
The dish is finished under the broiler for 1-2 minutes to add extra crispiness to the skin surface. The result is chicken with a golden, textured crust offering a balance of savory and aromatic notes from paprika and herbs.
This preparation works well as a main course served alongside vegetables, grains, or salads. It relies on oven dry heat for crisp skin without frying.
Ingredients
- 6 chicken thighs bone-in, skin-on
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon basil dried
- 1 teaspoon oregano dried
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9x13 pan or 3 quart baking dish.
- Trim the chicken thighs of any excess fat or skin. Place chicken thighs directly into the prepared dish, skin side up.
- Drizzle chicken skin with olive oil and rub to coat.
- In a small bowl, stir together paprika, basil, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle evenly on top of chicken thighs.
- Roast chicken in the preheated 450 degree oven for 35-40 minutes, or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- 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.
