Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Place the chicken thighs in a large bowl or on a baking sheet and drizzle the seasoning mixture over them.
Rub the seasoning evenly over all sides of the chicken thighs.
Arrange the chicken thighs in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
