Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking dish by lightly greasing it with cooking spray or olive oil.
-
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
-
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. This helps the skin crisp up nicely in the oven.
-
Place the chicken thighs in the prepared baking dish, skin side up.
-
Drizzle the olive oil and herb mixture over the chicken thighs, making sure to coat each piece evenly.
-
Use your hands to gently massage the herb mixture into the chicken, ensuring that each thigh is well seasoned.
-
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 35-40 minutes or until the chicken thighs reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
-
To get the skin extra crispy, you can broil the chicken thighs for an additional 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye on them to prevent burning.
-
Once the chicken thighs are cooked through and golden brown, remove them from the oven.
-
Allow the chicken thighs to rest for a few minutes before serving. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
-
Serve your baked chicken thighs hot alongside your favorite sides like roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
