Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken thighs (bone‑in, skin‑on or boneless, skinless)
- 4 tsp garlic powder
- 4 tsp onion flakes (or onion powder)
- Salt & pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 °F (190 °C).
- Arrange chicken thighs in a baking dish.
- Season both sides with garlic powder, onion flakes, salt, and pepper.
- Bake uncovered for about 30 minutes, or until juices run clear and a thermometer reads 165 °F (74 °C).
- Remove from oven, let rest a few minutes, then serve.

- Use bone‑in thighs for juicier meat, but boneless cook slightly faster.
- For crispier skin, broil for 1–2 minutes at end.
- Leftovers keep up to 4 days in fridge; reheat in oven or microwave.
