    Ingredients

    • Chicken Thighs
    • Canola Oil
    • Salt
    • Pepper
    • Paprika
    • Garlic Powder
    • Onion Powder
    • Italian Seasoning or Parsley, Thyme, Basil and Oregano
    INgredients for Crispy Oven Baked Chicken Thighs. 7 Chicken thighs sitting on paper towel, salt, pepper, paprika, pepper and herbs on a black slate plate.

    How to Make Crispy Chicken Thighs in The Oven

    1.) Pat the Chicken Dry- Patting the chicken dry with paper towel helps remove unecessary moisture and get a crispier finish.

    2.) No need to wash the Chicken - washing chicken before you cook it can increase your rise of food poisoning from bacteria.

    3.) Skip the marinade - While marinating can infuse flavour having your meat in a marinade for over two hours can actually toughen the meat. This recipes uses a blend of spices to season the chicken so you have flavourful, tender, juicy and crispy chicken.

    4.) Don't Crowd the pan - If you have a convection oven (has a fan) make sure you are using a rack ontop of your baking sheet. This helps the air circulate around the chicken resulting in a crispier finish. If you have a conventional oven (no fan) you can still achieve crispy results, the main thing to ensure is that you don't overcrowd the sheet pan. Space out the chicken.

    5.) Cook to the correct temperature - Skin can only get crispy once its cooked. You need a hot hot oven and a piece of chicken that is cooked through. An instant read thermometer should read 165 degrees Fahrenheit before you remove it from the oven.
