Followed recipe exactly. Thighs were crispy and tasty. Don't know how with these ingredients the thighs become crispy but they do. Easy recipe.
I've made this several times and the whole family loves them. I make them with the boneless/skinless thighs though. I melt about 2 TBSP butter mix the seasonings in and then brush the seasoned butter onto the thighs. Very good and quick and easy too!
This recipe is the reason I now use this website. I decided to make chicken for dinner but wasn't really sure how to season it or at what temp and for how long to bake it. I was planning on just sprinkling some salt and pepper on it and baking at 400 for 30 min and then checking it... Apparently that's all kinds of wrong! Im so glad I found this because it turned out so good! Crispy skin and juicy meat. I'm not the meat cooker in the family I can do desserts and vegetarian options like no other but I prefer not touching or smelling raw meat. It just weirds me out. Therefore on the rare occasion I do cook a meat option no one really enjoys it. This saved me. And redeemed me from all my past mistakes. I tripled the recipe for more chicken and I sprinkled some on the bottom of the chicken and then rubbed it in. Got some under the chicken skin like I've seen others recommend doing and then rubbed that in then I sprinkled the rest on the top. Even the drippings were so good that I ended up making gravy out of it.
Been doing it this way for YEARS. It's kind of a no-brainer! Don't worry about the specifics of the seasonings. Just put whatever you like on them. Plain ole garlic powder salt and pepper is a fave at my house but any seasoning that you like will work here! No need to dirty up a container to shake all the seasonings together in....just sprinkle what you like on. If the thighs that I buy happen to have alot of extra skin I trim some off but the skin comes out SO crispy that if you'e a crispy skin fan you may opt to leave it all on and let it cook! The best way to do these thighs is to go somewhere around 375-400 and bake them in a cast iron skillet. No need for the cooking spray and at the higher temp (for about the same hour cooking time) the skin gets crunchier. The meat will still not be overcooked unless you have particularly small pieces of chicken. Also about 10 or 15 minutes before you're ready to take them out of the oven drain the fat that has cooked off and put them back in the oven for the remaining time. Keeps the chicken from sitting in a pool of grease during the last bit of cooking. Do try this recipe. My hubby who when we met refused to eat any chicken except a breast now asks for these thighs weekly!
Followed to a T other than broiling for the last 3 minutes.. PERFECT! I marinated the chicken for a day for extra flavor.. but the skin was crispy and delicious!!!!!!! FIVE STARS
Recipe worked perfectly. Mix and match your spice combinations to whatever you like. As long as you follow the cooking instructions it comes out crispy and delicious. In my photo I moved it to a different plate. I used a cookie sheet to bake (with tin foil). Easy Peasy!
Fabulous! The entire family loved it! I had to use onion powder because I didn't have onion salt and had read other reviews that had done the same. Otherwise seasoned and cooked exactly as directed. My daughter is a VERY picky eater and she likes her chicken the way she likes her chicken. Not only did she eat this like there was no tomorrow but she has also asked me to make it again. It's so easy peasy we are having it for dinner again tonight. Definitely on the weekly rotation!!
Yum! Very tasty! Used skinless boneless thighs and only baked for 20 min at 425 degrees but it still turned out well. Nice spice blend.
Followed the recipe exactly. Is was easy and very delicious. Skin got really crispy & chicken was very moist & tender. Will definitely use this recipe again.
I doubled the seasoning and I nor family found this flavorful at all! Very disappointed in this recipe!
