1. Preheat oven to 400°F and place a foil-lined, rimmed baking sheet inside to heat.

2. In a large bowl, mix olive oil with all seasonings to form a paste.

3. Add chicken thighs in batches, coating and rubbing the seasoning into each piece.

4. Remove the hot pan from the oven and place seasoned chicken thighs on it.

5. Dot with butter if using.

6. Bake for 20 minutes, then baste with juices.

7. Return to oven and bake for another 10 minutes.

8. Baste again, then finish baking for 5–15 minutes more, until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
