Step 1
Preheat oven to 425°F. In a small bowl, mix 2 tbsp chili powder, 1 tsp salt, and 1 tsp black pepper. Rub the mixture all over the 4 chicken thighs.
Step 2
Cut 4 tomatoes into wedges and 1 onion into thick slices. Toss with 2 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt. Spread in a single layer in a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Step 3
Place the seasoned chicken thighs on top of the vegetables, skin side up. Drizzle with remaining 1 tbsp olive oil.
Step 4
Roast for 25-30 minutes, until the chicken skin is crispy and browned and the juices run clear when pierced. The vegetables should be soft and caramelized.
Step 5
Scatter 0.25 cup chopped cilantro over the top before serving.
