Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Bring the chicken thighs to room temperature and pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a small bowl, combine all herbs and spices to create the seasoning mix.
In a large mixing bowl, place the chicken thighs, drizzle with olive oil, and add about two-thirds of the seasoning mix. Coat the chicken thoroughly, ensuring to get under the skin.
Place the seasoned chicken on a rack set over a baking sheet, then sprinkle the remaining seasoning mix on top.
Bake the chicken thighs in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until their internal temperature reaches 170°F. For extra crispiness, broil them for an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For best results, let the chicken marinate for 30 minutes with the seasoning before baking.
Ensure the chicken is patted dry for crispier skin during baking.
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature for doneness.
