Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 2

chicken thighs (do as many as you want)
7:2:1 or 7:2:2 Seasoning (or kosher salt and pepper to taste)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F convection. Pat dry the chicken.
  • Trim any loose skin with no meat off. Also, remove any fat that is easily removed.
  • Prep a baking sheet. Line with aluminum foil, add a rack, and give a heavy spray of PAM. Use a baking sheet or pan big enough to hold all the thighs without touching.
  • Place thighs skin down and sprinkle lightly with the spices of your choice. I went with 7:2:1 or 7:2:2. If you don't have that, just a little salt and pepper to taste. A pinch of cayenne would be good also. Flip and tuck in any thin parts underneath and sprinkle skin side.
  • With skin side up, bake until internal temp of 180° to 185°F-about 30 minutes of cooking time. Then rest for 5 minutes or more before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken thighs: Look for thighs that are plump and have a good amount of skin. Avoid thighs that are bruised or have freezer burn.
  • Pat the chicken thighs dry: This will help the skin crisp up in the oven.
  • Season the chicken thighs liberally: Use a variety of spices and herbs, such as paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Let the chicken thighs marinate for at least 30 minutes: This will help the flavors to penetrate the chicken.
  • Roast the chicken thighs at a high temperature: This will help the skin to crisp up. The ideal temperature is 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Roast the chicken thighs until the skin is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit: This will ensure that the chicken is cooked through.
  • Let the chicken thighs rest for 10 minutes before serving: This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken.

Conclusion:

Oven-baked chicken thighs with skin on are a delicious and easy-to-make meal. By following these tips, you can ensure that your chicken thighs turn out perfectly every time. Whether you are serving them for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion, these chicken thighs are sure to be a hit.
