Tips & Tricks

  • Be sure to pat the chicken skin dry before adding the olive oil seasoning mixture. This will ensure that you get the very absolute crispiest skin possible. You can use a plain old sheet pan in place of the baking dish. Just make sure you use a sheet pan with a rim so that you can trap all those yummy drippings from the chicken thighs! Switch up the veggies to include your family's favorites. I recently discovered that my toddler will eat broccoli with reckless abandon. So you can bet that it's making a regular appearance at our dinner table! Green beans, cauliflower or asparagus would be great with these roasted chicken thighs also!
