Equipment

  • Large sheet pan (15×21-inch)
  • Foil

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs about 6 thighs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 2.5 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1.5 teaspoons pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large sheet pan with foil. Pat chicken thighs completely dry with paper towels.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and paprika. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Rub the mixture over each thigh.
  • Arrange chicken thighs flat on the prepared sheet pan, spaced out well. Bake in the center of the oven for 15 minutes.
  • Move the oven rack to 8 inches from the heat source. Switch to broil and cook for 7–10 minutes, or until the tops are nicely blackened and caramelized.
  • Remove from oven, tent with foil, and let rest for 5–10 minutes. Brush pan juices on top. Slice or chop as desired.

Notes

Choose chicken thighs that are similar in size for even cooking. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
