- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a sheet pan with aluminum foil for easy clean-up.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, brown sugar, and Italian seasoning. Stir until all ingredients are well blended.
- Add the chicken thighs to the bowl, thoroughly coating them with the seasoning mixture.
- Place the seasoned chicken thighs on the lined sheet pan, ensuring they are arranged smooth side up.
- Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken; it should reach 165°F (74°C).
- Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
