Method
Preparation
- 1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This ensures that the chicken thighs will cook evenly and become crispy.
- 2
Prepare the Chicken Thighs
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. This helps to achieve a crispy skin. Place the thighs in a large mixing bowl.

Cooking
- 4
Arrange the Chicken
Place the seasoned chicken thighs skin-side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Ensure they are spaced out to allow for even cooking.
- 5
Bake the Chicken
Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C) and the skin is crispy.
- 6
Rest the Chicken
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before serving. This helps to keep the juices locked in.
