baked tender chicken thighs

ingredients:
3 pounds chicken thighs, skinless and boneless
3 tbsp olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp table salt
1/4 tsp ground pepper
1 1/2 tsp italian seasoning
3/4 tsp ground paprika

instructions:
1.  in a bowl, combine olive oil and minced garlic.  lay out chicken thighs and coat with oil mixture (on both sides).

2.  prepare the seasoning:  in a bowl, combine the salt, pepper, italian seasoning, and paprika.

3.  season both sides of chicken with the seasoning.  transfer chicken thights to a baking dish.  cover with foil.  set aside to marinate at least 2 hours (if you don't have two hours, that is okay.  the chicken just won't be as flavorful.)

4.  bake 45 minutes at 375 degrees F.  remove foil and broil for 8-10 minutes (at same temp), until tops of thighs are crispy.
