Ingrédients
Main Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless skinless chicken thighs Choose thighs for maximum juiciness.
- 2 tablespoons olive oil Can substitute with avocado or coconut oil.
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder Fresh garlic can be used as a substitute.
- 1 teaspoon paprika Smoked paprika can be used for a different flavor.
- 1 teaspoon salt Use low-sodium salt if preferred.
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper Adjust to taste.
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped For garnish.
Instructions
Preparation
- Start by gathering all your ingredients. Pre-measuring ensures a fun, seamless cooking experience.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). A properly heated oven is crucial for that perfect crispy exterior.
- In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir until it forms a uniform mixture.
Cooking
- Take each chicken thigh and coat it generously with the mixture, ensuring each piece is covered.
- Arrange the coated chicken thighs in a baking dish with space between them for even cooking.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- For an extra crispy finish, switch to the broil setting for the last 2-3 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before garnishing with freshly chopped parsley and serving.
Notes
To store, let the chicken cool and place it in an airtight container; it lasts 3-4 days in the fridge. For freezing, wrap each piece tightly to prevent freezer burn.
