Baked Chicken Thighs

Crispy on the outside, moist on the inside and super easy to prepare. These were prepared and baked on a baking sheet that is covered in foil for easy clean up.

Cover a baking sheet with foil.

Pat the chicken dry with paper towel and place
them on the foil covered pan. Drizzle oil over
the chicken then rub it all around each thigh.

Sprinkle each piece, on both sides,
with paprika and rub it in.

Combine and sprinkle the rest of the dry
ingredients evenly over the skin. I like to sprinkle
mine one ingredient at a time so that all of
the chicken gets all of the seasonings.

Bake in a preheated 400º oven for about 40 minutes or
until the thickest part has an internal temperature of 165º.

Thank you for taking the time every day to post❤️
Only every other day, I wish I had more time to post every day! You’re welcome Cathy and have a great day!
So simple but so good! I like to lift the skin a little and season the meat underneath too.
What a great idea!
Looks easy to prepare! Thanks for sharing!
You’re very welcome and thanks for stopping by.
I bet it’s a lot better than takeout if you just prepare ahead a bit.
Most definitely, this can be prepared in a couple of minutes and was so good. 💕
Easy peasy to clean up, I like that Rosemarie
Very easy Sheree, moist and delicious! Have a great day!!!❤️
Delicious oven roasted chicken, looks yummy good.
Thank you so much! ❤️
Yummy, Diane. You’re making me hungry! 😂

That’s words I like to hear! Lol I have a brisket cooking in the oven right now, yes at 10:00 pm and it comes out after 11:00 pm. Smelling it is really making me hungry as it cooks 3-4 hours total! My house smells so good. The recipe says it is better the next day but I will have to taste test it tonight of course. 🤣
Excellent!!
Thanks John! Wow I am four days behind answering comments. Hopefully it doesn’t get worse as I have two dump truck loads of mulch in our basketball court to distribute! 😩
Take your time!
With the heat predicted it will sit there a while!
Looks delicious!
They really were delicious, crispy skin and so moist. I love baking chicken thank you so much!
I may have to dive bomb that plate with my face. So good! (the chicken, that is…the dive bombing is weird.)
🤣 Not weird at all! 😳
I love cooking with chicken thighs! I’ll have to try your dry rub recipe. For extra crisp, I broil it for 5 minutes at the end, with the skin side up.
That’s a great idea Ab!
I like how you simplified the process. This is an easy and effective way to bake the chicken and keep the crispiness. The foil not only makes for easy clean-up but it radiates heat into the chicken. Thanks for keeping it real!
What a nice comment! Thank you so much!!!
I’m sure I’d be salivating if I was in your kitchen and smelling this dinner Diane.
I don’t like fried chicken, too much grease. I either air fry, bake or slow cook it. I love the smell of it baking in the oven too Linda. Thank you. 💕
Thanks!
This is a HUGE favourite in our house! We have chicken on the menu for tonight (on the “braai” / barbeque). My husband drizzled his own sauce over it and will put it on the fire later (that sauce is also a favourite here, consisting of tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, Chutney, olive oil and a bit of Tabasco sauce) … I’m hungry now!
Oh yes, and that foil is a brilliant idea – how easy to just throw the foil away afterwards and put the clean pan back 😄.
Thank sounds delicious! How nice he does all the cooking on the braai, nice break for you! Thanks for stopping by!
Yes, I didn’t marry a rich man … but I think a man who can cook is a better catch 😄.
Absolutely!
Fabulous! 💕C
Thanks! 💕
these look delicious Diana!👏👏👏
