Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C) and place a roasting rack into a 9x13 baking dish. *A wire cooling rack works well too, just be sure to coat it with oil or non-stick cooking spray. You can also line your baking dish with aluminum foil if desired.
Prep your chicken thighs by removing any excess fat or skin flaps as desired then pat each thigh dry using paper towels.
Brush the olive oil onto the top of each chicken thigh and apply seasoning generously. Transfer onto the wire roasting rack in your baking dish.
Bake in the middle of your oven's center rack for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) as read by a digital meat thermometer.
For extra crispy skin, broil on high setting for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Notes
Removing any moisture from the chicken thighs helps to get them nice and crisp when baked.
Watch closely when broiling so that the chicken skin (and seasoning) doesn't burn. If needed, leave the oven door open while broiling.
