Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Rub the seasoning mixture generously over both sides of the chicken thighs.
  4. Place the seasoned chicken thighs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Notes

For extra crispy skin, you can broil the chicken for the last 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning. Serve with your favorite side dishes like roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
