Dried Thyme – ½ tsp Recipe 1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a deep baking dish with aluminum foil and lightly grease it with cooking spray or olive oil. 2. Pat the chicken thighs completely dry using paper towels, especially around the skin. This helps achieve a beautifully browned and crispy exterior during baking. 3. In a small bowl, combine smoked paprika, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, black pepper, salt, brown sugar, red pepper flakes, Italian seasoning, and dried thyme. 4. Drizzle olive oil over the chicken thighs and rub the prepared seasoning mixture generously over every piece, making sure to coat both sides and underneath the skin where possible. 5. Arrange the seasoned chicken thighs skin-side up in the prepared foil-lined baking dish, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking. 6. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for approximately 30–45 seconds until fragrant without allowing the garlic to burn. 7. Stir Worcestershire sauce and lemon juice into the garlic butter. Mix thoroughly to create a rich, savory butter glaze. 8. Spoon the garlic butter mixture generously over the chicken thighs, allowing some of it to collect around the bottom of the baking dish. 9. Cover the baking dish loosely with aluminum foil and bake for approximately 25 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for another 20–25 minutes until the skin becomes deeply golden and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) at its thickest part. 10. During the final 10 minutes of baking, baste the chicken with the flavorful pan juices to develop a glossy, deeply seasoned coating. 11. For extra caramelization, switch the oven to broil for 2–3 minutes, watching carefully until the chicken skin develops a darker, slightly charred finish. 12. Remove the chicken from the oven and spoon the remaining garlic butter and pan juices over each piece. Allow the chicken to rest for approximately 5–10 minutes. 13. Garnish generously with freshly chopped parsley and serve the chicken hot with your favorite creamy rice, mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables.
