Notes
Pat chicken thighs dry before seasoning. You can easily take off the skin if you prefer skinless bone in chicken thighs. Don’t overcrowd the baking pan. Check that the internal temperature of chicken is at least 165F before taking it out and serving. Rest chicken for 5 minutes before cutting into it so the juice has time to redistribute.
