Quick and Easy Baked Chicken Thighs

I've posted variations of this recipe before because it's pretty much my go to method for cooking chicken when I don't have the time or energy to get fancy. I've been in the habit of adding olive oil before the seasoning but for some reason I decided not to and I liked the way the skin crisped up without it. So that's the main difference between this recipe and the previous ones.

With this recipe you can buy the chicken on your way home, have it in the oven about 30 minutes after you arrive, prepare your sides while it is cooking, and have dinner on the table with minimal effort.
