Ingredients:

  • 3 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs, patted dry
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp cracked black pepper
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp dried oregano

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C) and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Use paper towels to pat each chicken thigh until the surface is completely dry to the touch.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, toss the chicken thighs with olive oil until every inch is glistening.
  4. Sprinkle the salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and oregano over the meat, massaging the spices in until it has an opaque, colorful coating.
  5. Arrange thighs on the baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they aren't touching to allow for searing.
  6. Roast for 25–30 minutes until the edges are sizzling and the internal temperature reaches 175°F (79°C).
