Notes
*Something I really like to do to get the baked thighs nicely browned on one side, and you can see this in the Baking Chicken Thighs Video above, is to put a rack of my oven in the lowest position. Then I’ll actually preheat the even to as high as 450F. Unrolled, lightly oiled and seasoned, chicken thighs then go onto a pan, which goes onto that low rack. They take about 20 minutes to cook, and in that time the bottoms get nice and brown from being so close to the heat elements, but the meat is still tender and juicy.
