Bone-in chicken thighs roasted in a hot oven until the skin turns golden and crisp and the meat underneath stays juicy and tender. Six pantry seasonings and about ten minutes of prep is all it takes.

Ingredients
- 6 chicken thighs, bone-in, skin-on
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- ½ tsp black pepper
- Fresh parsley to garnish

Instructions
1. Heat the oven to 425°F. Line a sheet pan with foil and set a rack on top.
2. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Trim any skin wrapped around the underside and snip off loose fat.
3. Drizzle the olive oil over the thighs and rub to coat evenly.
4. In a bowl, mix the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and dried parsley. Sprinkle over the chicken and rub to coat.
5. Arrange the thighs skin-side up with space between pieces. Roast uncovered 35 to 45 minutes, until the skin is crisp and the thickest part registers at 185°F (165° is safe, but 185°-195° is more ideal for thighs and legs).
6. Rest 5 to 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve.
