Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season both sides of the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and smoked paprika.
Place the chicken thighs in the skillet, smooth side down. Cook for 6-7 minutes, undisturbed, until the underside is golden brown. Flip the chicken thighs and cook for an additional 6-7 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
