Ingredients
- 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 1.5 lbs): Bone-in and skin-on yield juicier, more flavorful results, but boneless can be used for a quicker cook.
- 1 tablespoon olive oil: Helps the seasoning stick while promoting crispness. You can substitute avocado oil or melted butter for a richer taste.
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder: Adds a warm, savory note.
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika: Offers a subtle smoky flavor and beautiful color. Regular paprika works in a pinch.
- ½ teaspoon onion powder: Enhances overall seasoning depth.
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme or Italian seasoning: Brings an aromatic touch that complements chicken.
- ½ teaspoon salt: Essential seasoning that balances flavors.
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper: Adds mild heat and pungency.
