Ingredients
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 pounds chicken thighs (skin on, bone in; about 4)
- 2 tablespoons thai green curry paste (alternatively substitute 2 teaspoons curry powder - see my Mild Homemade Curry Powder)
- 1/4 cup basil (loosely packed)
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 inch fresh ginger
Instructions
- Pat dry the chicken thigh skin with a paper towel, then sprinkle the chicken evenly with sea salt, concentrating on the skin.
- Place the rest of the ingredients in a food processor or blender, and blend until a smooth paste forms.
- Add the chicken to a shallow dish, coating it evenly with the blended marinade.
- Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour to overnight.
- When ready to cook, preheat the over to 425 degrees F.
- Add the chicken to a baking dish in a single layer, with the skin side up.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees F.
- To get a crispier skin, broil the chicken for 3-4 minutes.
- Serve with your favorite sides!
Notes
- To ensure that your chicken yields the crispiest skin, make sure to:
- Pat dry the skin in the beginning with a paper towel so the moisture won't make the skin soggy or soft.
- Bake with the skin side up so the skin can avoid all the juices that escape from the chicken during cooking. This also ensures that you'll have an extra flavorful meat, because the fat from the skin will drip down into the thigh meat.
- Lay the thighs on the baking dish so they aren't too close to each other when baking. This will ensure that they all cook evenly.
- Broil the chicken thighs for 3-4 minutes to make the skin extra crispy. However, make sure that you keep an eye on them when you do this so they don't burn!
