Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt (Diamond Crystal preferred, or ½ teaspoon Morton kosher salt)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (important for flavor)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine chicken thighs, olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, and cayenne pepper. Massage the mixture thoroughly over the chicken.
- Arrange the seasoned chicken thighs in a single layer on a rimmed baking dish.

- Let the chicken rest briefly before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
