Ingredients
- 8 chicken thighs ( ~ 2 lb) , bone in, skin on
- salt
- pinch black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Take off any excess skin hanging off the thigh, if needed.
- Liberally salt the chicken and add a bit of black pepper. The salt will dehydrate the skin and make it crispy. You want to see the salt on the skin.
- Roast for ~ 45 minutes or until juices run clear and chicken temperature reaches 165F.
- Rest 5-10 minutes. Add hot sauce to taste. Happy, crispy eating!
Notes
- Wanna up your game? Elevate the chicken thighs on a wire rack over the pan and place some lightly oiled and salted root vegetables on the baking sheet. Keep onions w/ onions, carrots w/ carrots, potatoes w/ potatoes, etc because some veggies will cook faster (i.e. onions). You'll need to take the chicken out of the oven one or two times and stir/rotate/ or take out the veggies if they are done.
- Add favorite spices, spice mixes, or herbs before baking in the oven if you want a different flavor. This is a basic and classic recipe that can be modified and played with.
