  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs (optional for garnish) Use herbs like rosemary, thyme, or Italian seasoning for variation.

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Rub the mixture onto the chicken thighs until they are well coated.
  4. Place the chicken thighs in a baking dish.
Cooking
  1. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.
