CRISPY GARLIC CHICKEN THIGHS
Recipe video above. A fantastic quick and easy chicken thigh recipe! You'll love the terrific garlic flavour in this - seared on the crust and in the sauce. The trick to crispy skinless chicken thighs is to cook longer on a lower heat.

Tips:
- For a crispy chicken skin, ensure the chicken thighs are dry before seasoning and roasting.
- Use a sharp knife to score the chicken thighs, this will help the flavors penetrate and cook the chicken evenly.
- Generously season the chicken thighs with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. This will create a delicious and flavorful crust.
- Roast the chicken thighs in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. This will prevent the chicken from steaming and ensure it gets crispy.
- Roast the chicken thighs at a high temperature for the first 20 minutes, then reduce the temperature to finish cooking.
- Let the chicken thighs rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute and make the chicken more tender.
