Instructions

PREP OVEN AND BAKING DISH:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish with a light coating of cooking spray.

PREP CHICKEN:

  • Brush olive oil over the chicken thighs.
  • In a small bowl, combine the salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and parsley.
  • Sprinkle the seasoning blend over both sides of the chicken thighs and place them in the prepared baking sheet.

BAKE:

  • Bake in the preheated oven, uncovered for 30-40 minutes or until the internal temperature reads 165 degrees.

Notes

  • You can use boneless skinless thighs for this recipe if you prefer.
  • I like to spoon some of the chicken juices about 10 minutes before it is finished to help everything crisp up in the final moments.
  • You can increase the spice for this recipe by adding a pinch of chili powder and cayenne.
