Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
Trim chicken thighs of any excess fat or skin. Place into a large 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 and work some of the seasoning underneath the skin.
Grill chicken for about 8-10 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reached 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Thighs are even better with an internal temperature of 175 degrees Fahrenheit.
Remove from grill and let cool for a few minutes and enjoy!
