  • Mix together the granulated garlic, onion powder, paprika and black pepper in a small bowl or shaker.
    Sprinkle the seasoning all over each piece evenly. Use all of the seasoning so each thigh is coated. Sprinkle a couple of pinches of kosher salt on each thigh.

Notes

Tips:
Use boneless chicken thighs if you do not have bone-in thighs or if you do not like chicken with the skin on. You will still get great flavor with the rub.
Make sure the chicken is elevated in the pan for best cooking results. Use a wired rack.
