Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and allow about 10 minutes for it to reach the desired temperature.
  2. Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil for easy cleanup and even browning.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, brown sugar, and Italian seasoning. Mix until smooth.
  4. Toss the boneless chicken thighs in the marinade until fully coated. Let them sit for a few minutes.
  5. Arrange the marinated chicken thighs smooth side up on the sheet pan and bake uncovered for 20-30 minutes, flipping halfway through.

  7. Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
