Ingredients
Scale
Here’s what you’ll need to get started. I promise these are all ingredients you might already have or can easily find at your local grocery store:
- 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon dried Italian herbs (or a mix of oregano, basil, and thyme)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
If you’re out of fresh parsley, no worries—dried will work just as well! And if you’re looking for a dairy-free option, nutritional yeast is a great substitute for Parmesan.
Instructions
Now, let’s get cooking! Here’s how you can bring these flavors to life:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a baking dish.
- In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, Parmesan, dried herbs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to ensure a crispy skin. Place them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the Parmesan herb mixture evenly over each thigh, making sure they’re well-coated.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and enjoy!
Here’s a little tip: If you like your chicken extra crispy, pop it under the broiler for an additional 2-3 minutes after baking.
