Ingredients

6 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch garlic powder, or to taste

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Place a wire rack inside a broiler pan or standard baking pan.
Thoroughly pat the chicken thighs dry using paper towels. Gently lift the skin and sprinkle salt, pepper, and garlic powder underneath. Return the skin to its original position. Season the skin and the underside of the thighs with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Carefully arrange the seasoned chicken thighs on the wire rack.
Roast in the preheated oven for approximately 20 minutes, or until the skin turns a beautiful golden color. Reduce the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C). Continue roasting for about 30 minutes more, or until the juices run clear when pierced with a fork. Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve immediately and savor the deliciousness!
