- Small mixing bowl
- Measuring spoons
- Paper towels
- Kitchen thermometer
Ingredients
- 4 large chicken thighs about 2 lbs or 900g, bone-in and skin-on
- 2 tablespoons olive oil 30ml
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder 3g
- 1 teaspoon onion powder 3g
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika 2g
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin 1g
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano 1g
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to ensure the skin will become crispy when baked.
- In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to create the seasoning.
- Rub the seasoning mix all over the chicken thighs, making sure to coat both the skin and the underside of the thighs.
- Place the seasoned chicken thighs skin-side up in a baking dish or on a lined baking tray.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken thighs are golden brown on the outside and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- If desired, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes for extra crispy skin.
- Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Garnish with fresh parsley if using, and serve hot.
Notes
Ensure the chicken thighs are at room temperature before seasoning for even cooking.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and are great for meal prep.
Feel free to customize the seasoning to your liking or add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete keto meal.
