Instructions
- Preheat oven to 475.
- Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Use a paper towel to absorb any moisture on the top of each chicken thigh, then lay the top of each chicken thigh on the sheet pan. Use a paper towel to absorb any moisture from the bottom of the chicken thighs, then sprinkle them liberally with salt and pepper.
- Flip the chicken thighs so the top is up, then pull the skin back and tuck it under the chicken. Now, use a paper towel to absorb any moisture, then sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper.
- Next, pull the skin back over the chicken thigh and give each piece a final dab with a paper towel. Bake at 475 for 50 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches between 160 and 165 F.
- Tent the chicken with foil and allow it to rest for 5 minutes, then serve.

Notes
- The USDA recommends cooking chicken until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the chicken (without touching any bone) reads 165 degrees F. The temperature of this chicken will rise about 5 degrees while it rest though, so you can safely remove it from the oven once it reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees F.
