Oven-Roasted Herb Chicken Thighs

Ingredients

- 8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). This ensures even cooking and crispy skin.

2. Prepare the Chicken Thighs
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, ensuring crispy skin.

3. Mix the Herb Blend
In a small bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper.

4. Season the Chicken
Rub each chicken thigh with olive oil. Sprinkle the herb blend evenly over all sides of the chicken thighs, ensuring full coverage.

5. Arrange the Chicken
Place the seasoned chicken thighs skin-side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or in a roasting pan. Ensure they are evenly spaced for uniform cooking.

6. Roast the Chicken
Put the baking sheet or roasting pan into the preheated oven. Roast for approximately 35-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is golden brown and crispy.

7. Rest Before Serving
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute for maximum flavor.
