Oven-Roasted Chicken Thighs: Crispy Skin, Tender Meat
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and coat the foil with cooking spray.

  2. 2

    Place the chicken thighs skin-side up on the prepared baking sheet.

  3. 3

    In a small bowl, combine the garlic salt, onion salt, oregano, thyme, paprika, and pepper; stir until evenly mixed.

  4. 4

    Generously sprinkle the spice mixture over the chicken thighs.

  5. 5

    Bake the chicken in the preheated oven until the skin is crispy, the thighs are no longer pink at the bone, and the juices run clear, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should register 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
