Ingredients

6 bone-in skin-on chicken thighs (approximately 6 ounces each)

2 tablespoons olive oil

½ teaspoon paprika (or ¼ teaspoon each sweet paprika and smoked paprika)

½ teaspoon garlic powder

¾ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

¼ teaspoon dried thyme leaves (or dried rosemary or basil)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a rimmed baking pan with foil and place a baking rack on top.
