Chicken Preparation

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures that the chicken cooks evenly.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Chicken

    Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. This helps to get a crispy skin.

  3. 3

    Season the Chicken

    In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Rub this spice mixture all over the chicken thighs, making sure to get under the skin as well for maximum flavor.

  4. 4

    Add Olive Oil

    Drizzle the olive oil over the seasoned chicken thighs, ensuring they are well-coated. This will help with browning and add flavor.

  5. 5

    Bake the Chicken

    Place the chicken thighs skin-side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the skin is crispy.

  6. 6

    Rest and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the chicken moist.
