Re: Best chicken thighs recipes?
My kids like "chicken on the bone" - baked in the oven so that the skin is crispy. The basic technique is to coat in spice/flavoring mixture and bake 375F for 50-60 minutes. Right now their favorite is ranch - 1/2 c mayo and 1/2 c greek yogurt mixed with my homemade ranch seasoning. Slather that on and bake. (Ranch seasoning is 1 1/2 tsp-ish onion and 1/2 t-ish garlic powders, a squirt of dijon mustard, 1 T or so of parsley, maybe a bit of paprika or coriander if you have it.) We've done Buffalo, lemon parsley, jerk seasoning, cajun seasoning; anything you like works. I usually put the chicken pieces in a gallon ziploc and pour in a little evoo, let whichever kid wants to help rub that in, then add seasoning and let them play with that . It's all inside the bag, so they don't touch it. Dump it out onto a sheet pan and bake. Super easy and hands off.
