- 4 bone in, skin on chicken thighs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Place a wire rack inside a baking sheet.
- Pat the chicken thighs completely dry with paper towels. This step helps achieve crispy skin.
- In a small bowl, mix the kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
- Rub the chicken thighs all over with olive oil. Sprinkle the salt and spice mixture evenly over the skin side of the chicken.
- Place the seasoned chicken thighs skin-side up on the wire rack.
- Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit and the skin is deeply golden brown and crisp.
- While the chicken rests for 5 minutes after removing it from the oven, combine the chopped dill, parsley, and thyme in a small bowl.
- Sprinkle the fresh herb mixture over the hot, crispy chicken thighs before serving.
Notes
- For extra crispy skin, you can place the seasoned chicken in the refrigerator uncovered for up to 4 hours before baking.
- Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness; this prevents overcooking.
