Description

Simple recipe for baking chicken thighs seasoned with aromatic Middle Eastern Baharat spice blend.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons Baharat spice blend
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
  2. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, Baharat spice blend, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  4. Rub the spice mixture evenly over all surfaces of the chicken thighs.
  5. Place the seasoned chicken thighs skin-side up in a baking dish.
  6. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius) and the skin is crisp.
  7. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the chicken before serving.
