Notes
- Chicken: This recipe is for chicken thighs, of course the same seasoning blend can be used on chicken breasts. Images show bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs. You can use boneless and skinless. Baking times can vary depending on the thickness of the chicken and whether you are using bone-in or boneless.
- Internal Temperature: Since baking times can vary, chicken thighs should be cooked to an internal temperature of 175 degrees F.
- Salt: How much salt, depends on which type of salt you are using. If you are using coarse kosher salt you should use 1 teaspoon per pound of chicken.
