Baked chicken thighs are crispy, juicy, healthy and make for the perfect weeknight recipe! Crispy Baked Chicken Thighs As a kid I loved KFC chicken, but my favorite part was the crispy skin that was full of herbs and flavor. In fact, I may have eaten the skin more than the meat! I still love tender, juicy chicken with crispy, flavorful skin. And that’s where my baked chicken thighs come in. With a drizzle of avocado oil and a generous amount of dried herbs you can create crispy baked chicken that the whole family will love.
And you can feel good knowing it’s healthier. Can you use boneless skinless chicken thighs in this recipe? But if you’re going for flavor, I do recommend using bone-in and skin-on chicken thighs. The skin locks in the moisture and bone-in chicken just tastes better. A higher temperature makes the skin extra crispy. Use a paper towel to pat the chicken dry and remove any condensation from the fridge.
Mix the chicken, oil and herbs. Place the chicken on a rack. A rack on top of a baking sheet allows the air to circulate around the chicken making it crispier. Sprinkle the remaining seasoning on top. Bake the chicken thighs for 35-40 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. A Few Extra Tips Reminder: Don’t Wash the Chicken. It’s a common misconception that you need to rinse chicken once you bring it home from the store.
