Instructions
Prepare the Chicken
Preheat oven to 425F. Pat chicken thighs completely dry with paper towels. Drying the skin is essential for maximum crispiness.
Make Garlic Butter
Mix softened butter, minced garlic, smoked paprika, thyme, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until fully combined into a smooth compound butter.
Season the Chicken
Rub olive oil over each chicken thigh, then massage the garlic butter mixture under and over the skin, coating each thigh generously.
Roast the Chicken
Place chicken thighs skin-side up in an oven-safe skillet or baking dish. Roast at 425F for 35 minutes until the skin is deep golden brown and crispy.
Rest and Serve
Check internal temperature reaches 165F with a meat thermometer. Let chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
