Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Allow the chicken thighs to reach room temperature and pat dry with a paper towel.
In a small bowl, combine all the herbs and spices to create the seasoning mix.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the chicken thighs with the olive oil and two-thirds of the seasoning blend, ensuring they are well-coated and seasoning is applied under the skin.
Place the seasoned chicken on a rack over a baking sheet and sprinkle the remaining seasoning on top.
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 170°F. Optionally, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes for extra crispiness. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For even crispier skin, ensure the chicken is thoroughly dry before seasoning.
Feel free to adjust seasoning quantities based on your personal taste preferences.
Serve with your favorite sides for a complete meal.
