These Crispy Baked Chicken Thighs are not only easy to make, they taste delicious! I’ve been using this recipe for years and I am so excited to share it with you now. You will never need another chicken thigh recipe once you have checked it out. It’s so simple and the end result is so good.
All you’ll need for this recipe is chicken thighs, olive oil and some seasoning to flavour the skin. The secret to achieving crispy skin every time is to pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels before seasoning them. Another trick of mine is to line the baking tray with foil so that you have very little mess to clean at the end of the meal. This recipe is great to make for a crowd – simply double (or triple) the recipe depending on how many people you’re cooking for.
To make Crispy Baked Chicken Thighs, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 400 °F.
Lightly grease a baking sheet.
Pat the chicken thighs with paper towels until they are dry. Drying helps to achieve the crispy skin.

In a separate bowl, mix the salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and paprika.
Arrange the chicken thighs on the baking tray.
Sprinkle the thighs with the spice mix until they are evenly covered.
Bake in the oven for 35-45 minutes.
Pile the chicken thighs on a sharing plate to serve.
