Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F and position the oven rack in the center. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
Trim any excess fat from the chicken thighs if desired. Pat them dry and place them in a large bowl.
Drizzle the chicken with oil and add all the herbs and seasonings. Toss the chicken until evenly coated with the mixture.
Transfer the seasoned chicken to the prepared baking sheet, making sure to scrape any residual oil and seasonings from the bowl onto the chicken.
Insert an oven-safe thermometer into the thickest part of one chicken thigh. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Serve immediately.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the seasoning mixture for a few hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
Feel free to adjust the spices according to your taste; add more paprika for a spicier kick!
Serve with your favorite side dishes or salads for a complete meal.
