Crispy, Spicy Chicken Thighs

 A simple, yet easy recipe for chicken thighs. Homemade seasoning sprinkled over the top brings out the flavor, and the meat is tender and juicy when it comes out of the oven.

Ingredients

6 to 8 chicken thighs
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp. oregano
1 tsp. thyme
1 tsp. paprika
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°. Spray a baking sheet with cooking oil.

In a bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, thyme, paprika and cayenne pepper. Mix the seasoning well. 

Salt and pepper both sides of the chicken thighs. 

Sprinkle the seasoning over both sides of the chicken. You can use as much or as little of the seasoning as you like. If you have extra seasoning, you can store it in a sealable bag or a jar with a tight-fitting lid.

Place the chicken thighs on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake for 50 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165° when tested with a meat thermometer.  If the juices run clear, and the meat is not pink at the bone, then the chicken is fully cooked.
