Servings: 2 chicken thighs
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 boneless skinless chicken thighs (about 7.5 to 8-ounces total)
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ⅛ teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
- ⅛ teaspoon paprika (optional)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
- In a small bowl, mix together the salt, Italian seasoning, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika (if using).
- Place the chicken thighs on the baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Rub the oil evenly over both sides of the chicken.
- Sprinkle half of the seasoning over the top of the chicken.
- Flip the chicken and sprinkle the remaining seasoning on the other side.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.
- Remove the chicken from the oven and cover it loosely with foil. Let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
Notes
- Use Olive Oil: It keeps the chicken moist and helps the seasoning stick.
- Check Early: Start checking for doneness at 20 minutes to avoid overcooking.
- Let It Rest: Let the chicken rest for 5–10 minutes after baking to lock in juices.
