Ingredients

  • 2 lbs chicken thighs (bone-in or boneless)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce (optional for marinade)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice (optional for marinade)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or prepare a skillet over medium heat.
  2. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt, pepper, paprika, onion powder, and oregano.
  3. Optional: Marinate the chicken with soy sauce, garlic, and lemon juice for 30 minutes to enhance flavor.
  4. Heat olive oil in a skillet and sear the chicken thighs skin-side down until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Flip and cook the other side for 3-4 minutes.
  6. Transfer to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  7. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For crispier skin, broil the chicken for the last 2-3 minutes of baking.
  • This recipe pairs well with rice, mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables.
