Ingredients
Scale
- 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Prepare the Chicken Thighs: Let them rest at room temperature for about 20 minutes, then pat the skin dry.
- Season Generously: In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, dried herbs, paprika, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture over the chicken thighs.
- Arrange on a Baking Sheet: Place an oven-safe rack over a foil-lined baking sheet and lay the seasoned thighs skin-side up on the rack.
- Bake: Slide the baking sheet into the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the skin is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Rest Before Serving: Allow the thighs to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
