Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, salt, and pepper.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken thighs.
Place the chicken thighs in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.

For extra flavor, you can add a squeeze of lemon juice over the chicken before baking.
Serve with your favorite vegetables or a side salad for a complete meal.
Feel free to adjust the spices to your preference. Other herbs like rosemary or oregano can also be used.
