Ingredients for Crispy Baked Chicken Thighs<\/h2>\n\n- Chicken thighs<\/strong>: Use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs for this recipe. Thigh meat is more flavorful than white meat, and you want the skin so it crisps up in the oven. The skin also helps keep the chicken from drying out. Is chicken skin unhealthy<\/a>? Turns out: Not really!<\/li>\n
- Olive oil<\/strong>: Extra-virgin olive oil also helps crisp up the skin, and it adds flavor to the chicken. Check out our Test Kitchen\u2019s picks for the best olive oil brands<\/a>.<\/li>\n
- Salt<\/strong>: Salt is a necessity in most recipes, and which type of salt<\/a> to use depends on the recipe. Our crispy baked chicken thighs call for sea salt, but you can also use kosher salt.<\/li>\n
- Herbs<\/strong>: You can use fresh or dried thyme in this recipe, but note the difference in amount for each. That\u2019s because the measurements of fresh and dried herbs aren\u2019t perfectly interchangeable. Here\u2019s our handy guide on fresh to dried herb conversion<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Directions<\/h2>\nStep 1: Preheat the oven and pat chicken<\/h3>\n
Preheat the oven to 425\u00baF. Before adding anything to the chicken, be sure to pat it dry with paper towels.<\/p>\n
Editor’s Tip:<\/em> We recommend you never wash raw chicken before cooking<\/a> it. Washing doesn\u2019t do anything to protect you or the meat from bacteria; it just makes it wet. And excess moisture will inhibit a crispier chicken thigh.<\/p>\nStep 2: Prepare the chicken<\/h3>\n
Combine the garlic powder, thyme, salt, paprika, and pepper in a small bowl. Place the chicken on a rimmed baking sheet, and drizzle with the olive oil. Rub the garlic powder mixture all over the chicken thighs.<\/p>\n
Editor\u2019s Tip<\/em>: To make cleanup easier, line the baking pan with aluminum foil first. You could also place the chicken pieces on a rack set over a foil-lined baking pan. This will allow air to circulate around the chicken and cook more evenly. Be sure to spray the rack with a little cooking spray so the chicken doesn\u2019t stick.<\/p>\nStep 3: Bake the chicken<\/h3>\n

Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nBake the chicken, uncovered, until a thermometer inserted into thickest portion of the thighs reads 170\u00b0 to 175\u00b0. This will take 25 to 30 minutes. Test the temperature at the lower end of the cook time, and add more minutes as needed. Once it\u2019s done cooking, allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes, then sprinkle with additional fresh thyme, if desired.<\/p>\n
Recipe Variations<\/h2>\n\n- Use boneless chicken thighs<\/strong>: If you don\u2019t like or don\u2019t have bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, you can use boneless, skinless chicken. Note that the cooking time will be reduced by about 10 minutes. Plus, without any skin, the chicken will dry out more easily, so keep an eye on it.<\/li>\n
- Change the seasonings<\/strong>: Want it spicier? Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or smoky hot paprika. You can use fresh or dried rosemary instead of thyme, or even go with a homemade poultry seasoning<\/a> blend.<\/li>\n
- Use an air fryer:<\/strong> You can easily make our crispy baked chicken thighs in an air fryer. Simply follow the directions for air-fryer chicken thighs<\/a>, one of our favorite air-fryer chicken recipes<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
How to Store Crispy Baked Chicken Thighs<\/h2>\n
Let the baked chicken thighs cool completely, then store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for three to four days. To reheat them, pop into a 350\u00ba oven until heated through, about 10 minutes. If the skin isn\u2019t crispy, increase the temperature at the end for another minute or two. Alternatively, preheat an air fryer to 350\u00ba, then cook the chicken, skin side up, in the basket for 5 to 10 minutes. A microwave works to reheat chicken thighs, as well, but the skin won\u2019t come out crispy.<\/p>\n
Crispy Baked Chicken Thighs Tips<\/h2>\nHow do you keep chicken skin crispy when baking?<\/h3>\n
To keep chicken skin crispy when baking, make sure to pat it dry with paper towels to extract as much moisture from the chicken before you season it. You do not need to brown the chicken first in a pan; simply place it to face skin side up on the baking sheet. Use a larger baking sheet so you don\u2019t overcrowd the chicken, and place the thighs on a rack set atop the baking sheet. Cooking skin-on chicken at a high temperature (over 400\u00ba) is key, too.<\/p>\n
What can you serve with crispy chicken thighs?<\/h3>\n
There’s a lot you can serve with crispy chicken thighs, so go with any of your chicken-friendly favorites. Orzo with Parmesan and basil<\/a>, easy red roasted potatoes<\/a>\u00a0or chive smashed potatoes<\/a>, and a fresh green vegetable or salad make great accompaniments to crispy chicken.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It doesn,\u00c4\u00f4t take a lot to get the most tender, juicy, crispy baked chicken thighs.

I think one difference for me was baking the thighs at the higher temp (425 for 30 min) when I\u2019ve always baked at 375 for 40-45 minutes.

Directions<\/h2>\nStep 1: Preheat the oven and pat chicken<\/h3>\n
Preheat the oven to 425\u00baF. Before adding anything to the chicken, be sure to pat it dry with paper towels.<\/p>\n
Editor’s Tip:<\/em> We recommend you never wash raw chicken before cooking<\/a> it. Washing doesn\u2019t do anything to protect you or the meat from bacteria; it just makes it wet. And excess moisture will inhibit a crispier chicken thigh.<\/p>\n Combine the garlic powder, thyme, salt, paprika, and pepper in a small bowl. Place the chicken on a rimmed baking sheet, and drizzle with the olive oil. Rub the garlic powder mixture all over the chicken thighs.<\/p>\n Editor\u2019s Tip<\/em>: To make cleanup easier, line the baking pan with aluminum foil first. You could also place the chicken pieces on a rack set over a foil-lined baking pan. This will allow air to circulate around the chicken and cook more evenly. Be sure to spray the rack with a little cooking spray so the chicken doesn\u2019t stick.<\/p>\n Bake the chicken, uncovered, until a thermometer inserted into thickest portion of the thighs reads 170\u00b0 to 175\u00b0. This will take 25 to 30 minutes. Test the temperature at the lower end of the cook time, and add more minutes as needed. Once it\u2019s done cooking, allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes, then sprinkle with additional fresh thyme, if desired.<\/p>\n Let the baked chicken thighs cool completely, then store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for three to four days. To reheat them, pop into a 350\u00ba oven until heated through, about 10 minutes. If the skin isn\u2019t crispy, increase the temperature at the end for another minute or two. Alternatively, preheat an air fryer to 350\u00ba, then cook the chicken, skin side up, in the basket for 5 to 10 minutes. A microwave works to reheat chicken thighs, as well, but the skin won\u2019t come out crispy.<\/p>\n To keep chicken skin crispy when baking, make sure to pat it dry with paper towels to extract as much moisture from the chicken before you season it. You do not need to brown the chicken first in a pan; simply place it to face skin side up on the baking sheet. Use a larger baking sheet so you don\u2019t overcrowd the chicken, and place the thighs on a rack set atop the baking sheet. Cooking skin-on chicken at a high temperature (over 400\u00ba) is key, too.<\/p>\n There’s a lot you can serve with crispy chicken thighs, so go with any of your chicken-friendly favorites. Orzo with Parmesan and basil<\/a>, easy red roasted potatoes<\/a>\u00a0or chive smashed potatoes<\/a>, and a fresh green vegetable or salad make great accompaniments to crispy chicken.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It doesn,\u00c4\u00f4t take a lot to get the most tender, juicy, crispy baked chicken thighs.
