1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp olive oil

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Step 2: Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to ensure a crispy skin.
Step 3: Combine the salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika in a small bowl.
Step 4: Coat the chicken with olive oil and then rub the spice mix evenly over the skin and meat.
Step 5: Bake for 30 minutes, then remove and brush generously with BBQ sauce mixed with brown sugar.
