Garlic-Thyme Chicken

Servings:

Calories: 403kcal

Coconut oil spray; I like Kelapo.
6-8 chicken thighs bone in and skin on
1 Tbsp dried thyme
½ Tbsp seasoned salt
½ tsp onion powder I find the flakes hold their flavor longer than powder; I use a spice grinder to make the flakes into powder in small batches as needed.
3-4 cloves of garlic medium to large
3 Tbsp olive oil

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Coat a 9×13 or similar size casserole dish with a spray of coconut oil, and lay chicken pieces in dish, skin side down.
Combine all dry spices (I use a little Krups grinder or mini chopper for this) until mix is a uniform, fine powder.
Add garlic and olive oil and combine until mixture is smooth.
Using a basting brush, brush spice mixture onto skinless side of chicken pieces, then flip over and brush skin side with spice mixture.
Bake for 35-40 minutes or until all pieces are >165 degrees F. I always use a digital tester with poultry (and pork) to make sure it’s really ready to serve.
Note: If you are using boneless chicken thighs instead of bone-in, they’ll only need to bake for 20-25 minutes (but still test them to be safe!)

If you like gravy, you could make a delicious Paleo gravy with the pan drippings…
