Season the chicken thighs with a generous amount of salt, garlic powder, minced onion, parsley flakes, paprika, and herbs de provence.

Mix the chicken pieces together with your hands to ensure even seasoning.

Turn the chicken skin side up and add more olive oil if desired.

Cover the chicken loosely with aluminum foil.

Bake in the oven at 375°F for 20 to 30 minutes covered, then remove the foil and continue baking for a total of 45 minutes to 1 hour.

After 55 minutes, check the chicken for doneness and ensure the skin has a light crispness.
