Instructions

Preheat your oven to 415°F (210°C) and line a baking dish with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, turmeric, oregano, and thyme.
Carefully peel the skin back from the chicken thighs, keeping it attached on one side.
Place the chicken thighs, skin-side down, in the prepared baking dish. Generously sprinkle with the seasoning mix, ensuring every crevice gets coated.
Flip the chicken thighs over, exposing the meat side, and repeat the seasoning process. Allow the skin to then lie back over the thigh.
Drizzle a bit of olive oil over the skin and sprinkle with any remaining seasoning mix.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes until the skin is golden brown and crispy.

Notes

For extra flavor, feel free to customize the spices or add a pinch of cayenne for heat. Ensure chicken is at room temperature before seasoning for best results.
