Step 1

Pat the chicken thighs completely dry with paper towels (this is the secret to getting the skin incredibly crispy).

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped parsley, oregano, paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper to create a wet rub.

Step 3

Rub the mixture thoroughly all over the chicken thighs, making sure to get plenty of seasoning right under the skin as well as on top.

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 5

Place the chicken thighs skin-side up on a wire rack set inside a baking sheet (or directly in a seasoned cast-iron skillet).

Step 6

Bake for 35 to 45 minutes until the skin is deeply golden brown and crackly, and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 7

Broil for the last 2 minutes for extra crunch.
