4 chicken thighs
4 teaspoons garlic powder
4 teaspoons onion flakes

Steps:

Tips:

  • To ensure the chicken is cooked thoroughly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. It should reach 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the thigh.
  • If you don't have paprika on hand, you can use a combination of other spices, such as cumin, chili powder, and garlic powder.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of paprika to your taste. If you like a spicier dish, add more paprika. If you prefer a milder flavor, use less.
  • For a crispy skin, make sure to pat the chicken thighs dry before seasoning them.
  • To add more flavor to the dish, you can marinate the chicken thighs in the paprika mixture for several hours or overnight before baking.
  • Serve the chicken thighs with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
