1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Place a rack on a baking sheet.

Tips:

  • Choose bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs. The bone and skin help the thighs stay moist and flavorful during roasting.
  • Season the chicken thighs generously. A simple combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika is a great place to start. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as thyme, rosemary, or oregano.
  • Roast the chicken thighs at a high temperature. This will help the skin crisp up and the meat cook through quickly.
  • Don't overcrowd the chicken thighs in the roasting pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Roast the chicken thighs until they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. You can check the temperature with a meat thermometer.
  • Let the chicken thighs rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat.

Conclusion:

Roasted chicken thighs are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for dinner, lunch, or even breakfast. They are also a great source of protein and healthy fats. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make roasted chicken thighs at home. So next time you're looking for a simple and satisfying meal, give this recipe a try.
