Ingredients

Protein

  • 6 pieces bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (excess fat trimmed)
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp paprika
  • 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup no sugar added apple juice (100% juice)
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme, minced (can substitute with 1/4 tsp dried thyme)

Instructions 

  • Pat chicken dry and season with salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and paprika on both sides.
