  • Season Generously: Use a flavorful combination of herbs and spices to season the chicken thighs. Paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper are classic choices, but feel free to experiment with your favorite seasonings.
  • Don't Crowd the Pan: Make sure to leave enough space between the chicken thighs on the baking sheet so that they can roast evenly and get crispy skin.
  • Roast at a High Temperature: Roasting the chicken thighs at a high temperature (425°F) will help to create crispy skin and juicy meat.
  • Roast Until Golden Brown: Keep an eye on the chicken thighs as they roast and remove them from the oven when they are golden brown and cooked through. Using a meat thermometer to ensure that the internal temperature has reached 165°F.
