Tips:
- Choose the right chicken thighs: Look for bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs for the best flavor and texture.
- Pat the chicken thighs dry: This will help the skin crisp up.
- Season the chicken thighs liberally: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
- Let the chicken thighs marinate for at least 30 minutes: This will help the flavors to penetrate the chicken.
- Broil the chicken thighs on a high setting: This will help the skin to crisp up quickly.
- Watch the chicken thighs closely: They can go from perfectly cooked to overcooked in a matter of minutes.
- Let the chicken thighs rest for a few minutes before serving: This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken.
