Crispy Baked Chicken Thighs With Herb Salt

Chicken thighs are forgiving, affordable, and perfect for the oven. Dry skin and high heat create crunch without deep frying.

Ingredients

• 8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
• Olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper
• Garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme

Method

Heat the oven to 425°F. Pat thighs very dry, season generously, and roast on a rack until the skin is golden and internal temperature reaches 175°F in the thickest part.

Serving ideas

Pair with roasted carrots, mashed potatoes, or a simple cucumber salad. Leftovers shred well for sandwiches.
