Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to ensure crispy skin.
Place the chicken on a wire rack set over a baking sheet.
Brush the chicken with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and paprika.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Listen for a sizzle as the chicken cooks, indicating crisping.
Once cooked, let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
