Crispy & Tender Baked Chicken Thighs

I made these tonight - so flavor filled and inexpensive to boot! I removed the skin and it was still so moist and tender!  Diane 

Crispy & Tender Baked Chicken Thighs

Chicken Rub:
1/4 tsp garlic salt
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/8 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp ground thyme
1/4 tsp smoked paprika

cooking spray or light olive oil
8 bone-in chicken thighs (skin on or off)

Preheat oven to 365/reduce to 350 when chicken is placed in oven.

Remove chicken skin if preferred (will lessen cooking time) 
Mix all rub ingredients in a small bowl and sprinkle over chicken thighs placed on foil lined baking sheet that has been sprayed with cooking spray or coated with a bit of olive oil (I use extra light olive oil and coat baking sheet/foil using a paper-towel.) Bake until internal temp of chicken reaches 165 and juices run clear.

Skin On should take approx 1 hour
Skin Removed should take approx 45 mins.
