Start by preheating your oven to 220°C and remove your chicken from the fridge for it to come to room temperature. You can do this on a tray.
In a small bowl, add all your spices & herbs together with salt & black pepper. Mix well till everything is well combined.
Once at room temperature, pat it dry with a kitchen towel them massage in the cooking oil then rub in ¾ of the spice & herb mixture generously on all sides. Use the ¼ to coat under the skin and on top.
Place the thighs on a baking rack and remember to put a tray underneath covered with foil for any droplets of oil to fall on and avoid messing your oven.
Bake the thighs for 35-40 minutes till well cooked inside.
Allow to rest for about 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chives or cilantro or parsley.
Serve with any side of your choice. Goes really well with either some baked potatoes & creamed spinach or even some crispy baked sweet potatoes & steamed veggies.
