Baked Chicken Thighs And Legs is a SIMPLE recipe for juicy baked chicken! Covered in a dry seasoning mix, they have great flavor, too!
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a 13" x 9" baking pan with parchment paper (or aluminum foil).
Place Italian seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, brown sugar, onion powder, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Stir or whisk spices together until fully combined.
Pat chicken pieces dry, using paper towels to absorb moisture. Once dried, place chicken in prepared baking dish in a single layer. Rub or brush chicken pieces with olive oil (on BOTH sides). Next, sprinkle each side with spice mix, making sure to rub the spices into the chicken. Once chicken is oiled/seasoned on BOTH sides, re-position pieces in baking dish, skin side UP.
Bake chicken at 400°F. for 30-40 minutes. Do not turn the chicken during this time. Your total baking time may vary slightly, based on the size of chicken pieces used. When done, internal temp. of chicken should register 165°F. Check temp. by inserting a digital meat thermometer into a thick piece of a chicken thigh.
Transfer cooked chicken out of the baking dish and onto a large platter; serve immediately. Enjoy!
