Roasted chicken thighs are one of my favorite things to make. I love the crispy skin and juicy meat you get from roasting them this way. It’s an easy, low-effort dinner that works any night of the week ☺️
•
Ingredients:
Chicken thighs - bone-in
whatever seasonings you like - I usually keep it simple with garlic, paprika, salt, black pepper, and dried Italian herbs (like rosemary & thyme)
•
Directions:
1. Pat each chicken thigh as dry as possible. (For even crispier skin, air-chill uncovered in the fridge overnight.)
2. Mix all desired seasonings together in a bowl, then generously season all sides of the chicken thighs - don’t forget under the skin as well.
3. Preheat the oven to 425°F
4. Evenly space the chicken thighs on a wire rack over a baking sheet.
5. Roast in the oven for ~25min.
6. Remove when skin is crispy and golden.
7. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes, then serve with your favorite sides. I usually keep it easy with green beans and mashed potatoes.
*Don’t toss those chicken drippings! Use them to make gravy. ✨️
