Place the chicken thighs on a baking sheet lined with non-stick foil (about 2 inches apart).
Brush with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and fresh ground pepper and bake at 425°F for 35-40 minutes, but as chicken thighs vary in size, it’s a good idea to use a meat thermometer. A safe cooking temperature for cooked chicken is 165°F.
Serve hot.

Notes
Don’t overcrowd the pan. Overcrowding the pan will result in steaming the chicken instead of roasting resulting in soggy skin.
Don’t cover the chicken with foil. Covering the pan with foil will also produce steam that will soften the skin instead of crisping it.
