Another recipe I make over and over chez moi is this Crispy Baked Chicken Thighs. I love chicken thighs. They are so flavorful and honestly, I prefer them to chicken breasts. They are tastier than chunks of white meat aka chicken breasts. I normally get bone-in chicken thighs and that’s what you should get for this recipe.

This recipe couldn’t be easier. Rub my epic dry rub on the chicken and pop into the oven. Then go watch TV or read a book or make some fries while the oven does its work. The result is chicken that has incredible crispy skin and is tender on the inside. Eat and call it a day.

How to Get Crispy Chicken Skin

Not every chicken comes out crispy from the oven and that’s okay if crispy skin is not your goal. But if you want crispy chicken skin, here are steps to follow:

1. Pat your chicken dry with paper towels until the skin is void of moisture.

2. Bake the chicken at a high temperature. 450° F ensures extra crispy chicken skin.
