- 2.5 teaspoons garlic powder for enhanced flavor

Preparation Steps
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Drizzle olive oil in a large roasting pan and place it in the oven to warm up as it preheats.
- Mix flour, garlic powder, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper in a large resealable bag or a bowl.
- Pat dry the chicken thighs with paper towels to remove excess moisture, ensuring coating adherence.
- Place the chicken pieces into the flour mixture. Seal the bag and shake to coat evenly or press in a bowl.
- Remove the pan from the oven and carefully arrange chicken skin-side down in the hot, oiled pan.
- Bake for 30 minutes, then flip the chicken over and continue baking for an additional 20 minutes, or until fully cooked.
- Once done, remove chicken from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
