Super crispy!!! Amazing recipe. I made teriyaki sauce to add a bit flavor
My partner loves crispy chicken skin. On any chicken. . I only eat the skin on these. Great,easy recipe! Delicious! We make extra, so she can take it for lunch at work the next day!
This was a simple and family pleasing recipe. I added my own seasoning. But don’t forget the oil. Great Sunday dinner
My son and I loved these!! Easy and flavorful
This was perfection. My husband loves roasted chicken and my attempts are kind of hit and miss. The technique is perfect! Really nice and crispy. I thought that 475 was too high, but I was obviously wrong. Any additional seasonings would work if you think it’s bland, but we thought that just salt and pepper was perfect! One note. I drizzled olive oil on the breasts before I salt it. Delicious.
The concept of baking was viable and quite simple. There are a variety of spice rubs one can season the chicken with but the principle of how to bake the chicken does not change.
Cooked exactly to recipe instructions but added a few other seasonings (paprika, onion powder and mesquite) to give a little extra flavor. Turned out great!
rubbed the thighs under the skin and on top of the skin with bacon fat before seasoning … also added a couple dashes of Texas Pete hot sauce on each thigh … sold the augmented recipe for a million dollars !!!
Easy recipe and delicious just added a snall amount of crushed red pepper.
This recipe gives you the most perfectly crispy skin, all around due to raising the chicken off the sheet pan. It’s like air frying without the air fryer! This is a keeper.
Great crispy skin! I brine the chicken in a shrine season with Italian herbs before cooking the chicken thighs. Brining helps get the Italian seasoning flavors into that meat. Make sure you pat dry the skin before you cook them in order to get the skin crispy.
great tasting and quick and easy!
Followed recipe as written. Nice that I had all ingredients on hand in pantry. Quick and easy weeknight supper. Very tasty. I did double the amount of seasoning which was a good thing because I did use up all the seasoning on 6 thighs. Definitely a keeper.
This recipe did make the chicken thighs crispy and moist as promised. They were incredibly delicious !
I’m giving 5 stars for the oven timing and temperature. I’d give zero stars for flavor but I actually seasoned mine. You don’t have to be afraid of seasoning your food baby
I followed the temperature and the time exactly. I just added a few more seasonings absolutely crispy and moist. Delicious. Randy
This was delicious and crispy I used Truffle Parmesan and black garlic seasoning I buy at Costco I turned down temp after 15 min
Made this several times and is now a standard! Deepens the flavor when adding BBQ sauce when grilling.
This is such a simple way to make terrific chicken! We love the taste of cumin so I added a touch of it just under the skin. Otherwise, I made the recipe as written.
Triple or quadruple the garlic powder and spices. Watch your salt and bake at 400 degrees. Good and juicy
I enjoyed them. My wife thought they were a little bland.
