Description

This simple and flavorful Baked Chicken recipe delivers tender, juicy chicken with a deliciously crispy skin. It’s perfect for a quick and healthy dinner and pairs well with a variety of sides.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley (for garnish)

 



Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.

  2. Prepare the Chicken:
    Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. This helps the skin get crispy.

  3. Season the Chicken:
    In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture evenly over the chicken, ensuring all sides are coated.

  4. Bake:
    Place the chicken thighs on the prepared baking sheet, skin side up. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is golden and crispy.

  5. Optional Broil:
    For extra crispy skin, broil the chicken on high for 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.

  6. Serve:
    Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve hot with your favorite sides.


Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is fully cooked without drying it out.
  • Swap chicken thighs for chicken breasts or drumsticks if preferred. Adjust the cooking time as needed.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
