Baked Chicken Thighs: Crispy, Juicy, and Simply Delicious

Prepare the Chicken Thighs:
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. This step is crucial for ensuring the skin crisps up nicely.

Season the Chicken:
Drizzle olive oil over the chicken thighs and rub it evenly over the skin. Sprinkle the chicken seasoning or Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper on both sides of the chicken thighs.

Bake the Chicken:
Place the chicken thighs on a baking sheet or in an oven-safe dish, skin-side up. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is golden and crispy.

Rest and Serve:
Allow the chicken thighs to rest for a few minutes before serving to lock in the juices.
