  • Total Time: 50
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale

4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
4 teaspoons garlic powder
4 teaspoons dried minced onion
1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Place the chicken thighs in a shallow baking dish in a single layer without overlapping.
Evenly sprinkle the garlic powder, dried minced onion, and salt over both sides of each thigh.
Rub the seasonings into the skin to ensure full coverage.
Place the dish in the oven and roast for 45 minutes.
Verify the internal temperature has reached 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) near the bone.
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Pat the skin of the chicken thighs completely dry before seasoning to achieve maximum crispiness. Ensure chicken pieces are uniform in size for even cooking.
