Enjoy a flavorful and crispy oven-baked chicken dish that's easy to prepare and perfect for any meal.
Preheat your oven to 425°F and position the rack to the lower third.
Preheating the oven ensures even cooking and a crispy texture.
In a mixing bowl, combine the seasoning salt, garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, and dried parsley.
Mixing the spices thoroughly ensures an even flavor distribution.
Line a baking sheet with foil and spray it with non-stick spray.
Using foil makes cleanup easier and prevents sticking.
Rinse the chicken thighs under cold water and leave them moist for the coating to adhere.
Moist chicken helps the coating stick better, ensuring a crispy crust.
Coat each chicken thigh in the spice mixture, ensuring an even layer, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Press the coating onto the chicken gently to help it adhere better.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, turning halfway through for even cooking.
Turning the chicken ensures both sides are evenly crispy.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the chicken moist.
