EXTRA CRISPY OVEN-FRIED CHICKEN THIGHS
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450F
- Dry chicken thighs with paper towels really well. Try getting them as dry as possible. Sprinkle on salt, paprika, pepper and baking powder and gently rub with your hands all over, ensuring even coverage. (See note).
- Lay the chicken thighs on the coking rack, leaving a little space between the pieces. You may want to spray the cooling rack with PAM or rub it with some oil to minimize sticking.Note: you can skip using a cooling rack, but that will result in the bottoms of the chicken thighs becoming a little greasy. In that case, place the thighs on paper towels after baking to remove the grease.
- Transfer the thighs to a large baking sheet lined with aluminum foil and/or parchment paper. Either is optional, or course, but makes cleaning much easier.
- Place the baking sheet in the oven. Switch the oven to 425F convection. This is very important. You must use convection to get the same crispiness.
- Bake for 30 minutes for moderate crispiness and supreme juiciness.Bake for 35 - 40 minutes for ultimate crispiness and fall-off-the bone tenderness, with perhaps a tiny bit reduced juiciness.
- Remove the thighs from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. This will ensure that the skin on the thighs retains much of its crispiness after tossing in Buffalo wing sauce.
- Toss the thighs in Buffalo wing sauce, or any other sauce, or a combination of hot wing and BBQ sauce and serve. Alternatively, serve with a dipping sauce on the side.

CRISPY OVEN BAKED CHICKEN THIGHS
These are so flavorful, and that crispy skin...oh, so delicious! They're also cheap and easy. Try it, it'll become a favorite! I know it says 5 servings, but I always eat two, so plan accordingly. There's plenty of marinade to throw in more chicken. If not, add more soy sauce. It's hard to mess this up.

Steps:
- Place all ingredients in a ziplock bag and allow to marinate at least 2 hours, or overnight.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Place chicken at least an inch apart on a foil-lined baking sheet that has been coated with non-stick spray.

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken thighs: Look for thighs that are evenly sized and have a good amount of meat on them. Bone-in, skin-on thighs are the best choice for this recipe, as they will stay moist and flavorful during cooking.
- Pat the chicken thighs dry: This will help the skin to crisp up and prevent the chicken from steaming.
- Season the chicken thighs generously: Use a combination of salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. Be sure to rub the seasonings all over the chicken, including underneath the skin.
- Let the chicken thighs rest before cooking: This will help the seasonings to penetrate the meat and will also prevent the chicken from drying out.
- Roast the chicken thighs at a high temperature: This will help the skin to crisp up and will also cook the chicken through quickly.
- Baste the chicken thighs with the cooking juices: This will help to keep the chicken moist and flavorful.
- Let the chicken thighs rest before serving: This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat and will also make the chicken easier to carve.
Conclusion:
Crispy chicken thighs in the oven is an easy and delicious weeknight meal. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a flavorful and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner idea, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
