Crispy Baked Chicken Thighs (4 Ingredients)
Description
Crispy Baked Chicken Thighs call for bone-in, skin-on thighs seasoned with garlic parsley salt, paprika, and black pepper. Patting the chicken dry before seasoning allows the skin to crisp during baking. Baking at 400°F ensures the chicken cooks through while developing a golden crust. The thighs are baked in a single oven-safe pan, which allows the juices to collect and can be drained near the end for extra crispiness.
The oven cooking method encourages rendering of the fat beneath the skin, resulting in a tender interior and crisp outer texture. The spices deliver a savory, mildly smoky flavor from the paprika combined with aromatic garlic and herb notes from the garlic parsley salt.
After baking, fresh parsley is sprinkled on top for a mild herbal contrast and visual appeal. This straightforward recipe suits a simple dinner or can be served alongside vegetables or grains.
Ingredients
- 3 lb chicken thighs
- 1 tbsp garlic parsley salt
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp black pepper ground
- 1 tbsp parsley garnish, fresh
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Pat dry the chicken thighs with a paper towel.
- Season the chicken with garlic parsley salt, pepper, and paprika. Add the seasoned chicken thighs to an oven safe pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Toward the end of cooking you can drain some of the juice from the pan to make the thighs extra crispy.
- Garnish with your favorite herbs and serve immediately.
