Ingredients
- 8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (excess fat trimmed)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) to ensure a crispy skin.
- Brush both sides of the chicken thighs with olive oil.
- Evenly sprinkle both sides of the chicken with oregano, garlic powder, salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
- Place chicken thighs, skin side down, on a wire rack set over a sheet pan.
- Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for 18 minutes.
- Carefully flip the chicken thighs over with tongs, then roast for an additional 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is golden brown.
Notes
Trim excess fat from the chicken thighs for a crispier skin. Use a meat thermometer to check doneness and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes after removing from the oven.
