Juicy Crispy Chicken Thighs
Crispy-skinned chicken thighs that remain tender and juicy on the inside, making a perfect family meal any night of the week.
Ingredients
For the Chicken
- 4 pieces bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (Choose thighs with a good amount of fat for extra juiciness.)
- 1 teaspoon salt (Adjust according to salt intake preference.)
- 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper (Adds a mild kick.)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder (Adds depth and sweetness.)
- 1 teaspoon paprika (Gives color and subtle smokiness.)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (Helps to crisp the skin.)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Pat the chicken thighs dry and place them in a bowl.
- Drizzle with olive oil and season generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
- Arrange the chicken thighs on a baking sheet, skin side up if they have skin.
Cooking
- Roast in the oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Let rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes. For longer storage, freeze the chicken tightly wrapped.
