Ingredients:

  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken pieces (thighs or drumsticks, about 6-8 oz/170-225g each)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (30ml)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (5ml)
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder (5ml)
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme (5ml)
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (2.5ml)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (2.5ml)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (1.25ml)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil if desired.
  2. Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels.
  3. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  4. Brush the seasoning mixture generously all over the chicken pieces, ensuring every surface is coated.
  5. Arrange the chicken pieces on the prepared baking sheet, skin side up.
  6. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) when measured with a meat thermometer in the thickest part of the chicken (avoiding the bone).
  7. Let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
