1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2
Prepare the Chicken
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to ensure they bake correctly.
3
Season the Chicken
In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the chicken thighs to coat them evenly.
4
Optional Additions
If using, place sliced onions at the bottom of the baking dish and arrange the chicken thighs on top. You can add lemon wedges around the chicken for extra flavor.

5
Bake the Chicken
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
6
Garnish and Serve
Once baked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
