Crispy Baked Chicken Thighs Dinner

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Baked Chicken Thighs Dinner.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a sizzling 475°F (245°C).

2. Step 2

   While the oven warms up, grab a wire rack and place it inside a broiler pan or a baking pan—this will help the heat circulate around the chicken, giving it that perfect crispy skin.

3. Step 3

   Next, take your chicken thighs and pat them dry with paper towels; this step is key to achieving that delightful crunch.

4. Step 4

   Now, gently lift the skin of each thigh and sprinkle a generous pinch of salt, pepper, and garlic powder underneath.

5. Step 5

   Don’t forget to replace the skin afterward! Season the top and underside of the thighs with a little more salt, pepper, and garlic powder to ensure every bite is packed with flavor.

6. Step 6

   Once seasoned, arrange the chicken thighs on the wire rack, making sure they have a bit of space between them for even cooking.

7. Step 7

   Slide the pan into your preheated oven and roast the chicken for about 20 minutes, or until the skin turns a beautiful golden brown.

8. Step 8

   After that, lower the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C) and continue roasting for another 30 minutes, or until the juices run clear when you poke the thickest part of the thigh.

9. Step 9

   This is the moment when your kitchen will start to smell absolutely irresistible! Once done, let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes before serving.

10. Step 10

    This resting time allows the juices to redistribute, making each bite even more succulent.

    Now, dig in and enjoy your perfectly crispy baked chicken thighs while they’re still hot!.
