Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and let the chicken thighs come to room temperature. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper to create a spice blend.
In a large mixing bowl, combine chicken thighs and olive oil, then add two-thirds of the spice blend and coat the chicken well, including under the skin.
Place the seasoned chicken on a rack over a baking sheet. Sprinkle the remaining spice blend over the top.
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 170°F. For extra crispiness, broil for 2 to 3 minutes. Allow resting for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use fresh herbs if available for added flavor.
Let the chicken rest after baking to maintain juiciness.
Adjust spices according to personal preference.
