Ingredients

  • 6 chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons ground paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9x13 pan or 3 quart baking dish.

  2. 2

    Trim the chicken thighs of any excess fat or skin. Place chicken thighs directly into the prepared dish, skin side up.

  3. 3

    Drizzle chicken skin with olive oil and rub to coat.

  4. 4

    In a small bowl, stir together paprika, basil, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle evenly on top of chicken thighs.

  5. 5

    Roast chicken in the preheated 450 degree oven for 35-40 minutes, or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

  6. 6

    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.
