Ingredients
  

  • 8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs about 3 pounds total
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary crushed
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Method
 

  1. Remove chicken thighs from refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to bring to room temperature. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Pat chicken thighs completely dry with paper towels, paying special attention to the skin. Place on a large sheet pan lined with parchment paper.
  3. In a small bowl, combine kosher salt, garlic powder, paprika, thyme, rosemary, and black pepper.
  4. Drizzle olive oil over chicken thighs and rub all over to coat evenly. Sprinkle seasoning mixture over both sides of chicken, rubbing into skin.
  5. Arrange chicken thighs skin-side up on the sheet pan, leaving space between each piece for even cooking.
  6. Roast for 30-35 minutes, until skin is golden brown and crispy and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) when measured in the thickest part of the thigh.
  7. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.

Notes

For extra crispy skin, place under broiler for 2-3 minutes at the end of cooking. Store leftovers in refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in 400°F oven for 10 minutes to recrisp the skin.
