Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Take the chicken thighs out of the refrigerator to come to room temperature.
  2. Pat the chicken thighs dry thoroughly with a paper towel.
  3. In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried oregano, dried thyme, kosher salt, and black pepper.
  4. In a large bowl, add extra virgin olive oil and two-thirds of the spice blend. Coat the chicken thighs thoroughly.
  5. Arrange a baking rack over a baking sheet. Place seasoned chicken thighs skin-side up and sprinkle with the remaining spice blend.
  6. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, reaching an internal temperature of at least 170°F. The skin should be golden brown and crispy.
  7. Turn on the broiler for 2-3 minutes for extra crispiness, watching closely to avoid burning.
  8. Let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
