Ingredients
- 6 large chicken thighs, bone-in with skin
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 to 2 tablespoons chicken seasoning use your favorite or make your own
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Trim any visible fat off chicken and place on a baking sheet.
- Brush the chicken pieces with olive oil and coat with the seasoning.
- Bake in the oven for 35 to 40 minutes or until chicken skin is golden brown and internal temperature of chicken is a minimum of 165 degrees. Juices will run clear and there will be no pink in the middle.
- For extra crispy skin, turn the broiler on for the last few minutes of cooking.
Notes
Cooking Tips
- Before seasoning the chicken, pat it dry with paper towels. This helps the seasoning adhere better and promotes crispier skin.
- To ensure the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. It should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- For extra crispy skin when cooking chicken thighs, turn on the broiler for the last few minutes of cooking. Keep an eye on the chicken to prevent burning.
- Allow the chicken thighs to rest for a few minutes after baking. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in juicier meat.
- Leftover chicken can be stored for up to 3 days in an airtight container in the fridge.
