Crispy Oven-Baked Chicken Thighs
Ingredients
  • 6 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 pinch garlic powder, or to taste
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the highest temperature setting, which is 475 degrees F (or 245 degrees C). Place a wire rack inside a baking or broiler pan to elevate the chicken.
2
Gently pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels, making sure to remove any excess moisture. Using your fingers or a spoon, carefully lift the skin back and sprinkle salt, pepper, and garlic powder underneath. Reattach the skin, ensuring it's secure.
3
Rub salt, pepper, and garlic powder evenly onto both the skin and underside of the chicken thighs. Place them on the wire rack.
4
Roast the chicken in the preheated oven until it's golden brown, taking approximately 20 minutes. Lower the oven temperature to 400 degrees F (or 200 degrees C). Continue roasting until the juices run clear, which should take around 30 minutes more. Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
5
Serve the hot, perfectly cooked chicken to your guests and enjoy!
