Baked Chicken Thighs

41 Comments

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.

    • 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. 🤣

  11. 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.

  12. 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!

  15. 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 😄.
