- ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
-
Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels and place them in a mixing bowl.

Drizzle olive oil over the thighs and toss to coat evenly.

In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper.
-
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the chicken thighs and rub in until well coated.

Arrange the chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
-
Broil for an additional 2–3 minutes for crispy edges, if desired.
-
Remove from oven, let rest for 5 minutes, then serve with a sprinkle of lemon juice or parsley.
Notes
- Make sure to pat the chicken dry before seasoning to help the spices stick and promote even browning.
