Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220° C).
Prepare a large baking sheet, brushing it with olive oil or spraying it with baking spray. Set it aside.
Add the chicken thighs to a large bowl, trimming any excess fat from the chicken thighs.
Add the seasoning salt, pepper, honey, soy sauce, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning into the bowl and toss well until the chicken thighs are completely coated in the seasonings.
Spread the chicken thighs onto the prepared baking sheet, making sure not to over-crowd them. This will help them brown nicely in the oven and give the steam room to escape.
Bake them at 425°F for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and nicely browned on top.
Let the chicken thighs rest for 5 minutes under some aluminum foil, then slice and serve over salads, in your favourite bowls, or alongside some rice and steamed veggies.
