Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F.

Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Spray liberally with nonstick cooking spray.

In a medium mixing bowl combine the salt, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes.

Arrange the chicken thighs on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle the Italian seasoning mixture evenly over the chicken thighs.

Bake on middle rack of oven until the thickest part of the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F, about 20 minutes.

Check to see that chicken is done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.

Allow the chicken thighs to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Seasoning Penetration 🌶️
Mix Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and red pepper flakes in a bowl first to ensure even distribution across the chicken thighs.
Moisture Mastery 💦
Pat chicken thighs completely dry with paper towels before seasoning to help achieve a perfect golden-brown sear and prevent steaming.
Nonstick Spray Technique 🥄
Spray nonstick cooking spray in a thin, even layer to prevent excessive oil buildup and promote healthier, more consistent browning.
Thigh Thickness Uniformity ✂️
If chicken thighs are uneven, gently pound them to a consistent thickness using plastic wrap to ensure uniform cooking.
Flavor Layering Trick 🧄
For extra depth, consider adding a light dusting of fresh garlic powder right after cooking to enhance the aromatic profile.
