Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Pat the chicken thighs bone-dry with paper towels to ensure a crispy crust.
  3. Rub the thighs with olive oil, then evenly coat all sides with the salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and dried oregano.
  4. Place a wire cooling rack atop a large rimmed baking sheet and arrange the thighs skin-side up, ensuring at least an inch of space between pieces.
  5. Roast in the center rack of the oven for 35–40 minutes, or until the skin is deep mahogany brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  6. Remove from the oven and transfer the chicken to a plate to rest for 5–10 minutes before serving.
