Before we dive into the cooking, let me show you the star of the show:
Ingredients You’ll Need
Here’s what you’ll need to create this lip-smacking dish:
- 4 chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- Fresh herbs for garnish (like parsley or cilantro)
Let’s Get Cooking!
Alright, fam, it’s time to get your hands dirty! Here’s how to bring this all together:
- First things first, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This will ensure we get that beautiful crisp on the chicken.
- While that’s heating up, let’s season our chicken. In a large bowl, toss the chicken thighs with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and lemon juice. Make sure every piece is coated well—you want flavor in every bite!
- Next, place the seasoned chicken thighs in a baking dish, skin side up. Spread them out so they have some space to breathe and cook evenly.
- Pop them in the oven and let them roast for about 35-40 minutes. You’re looking for that crispy skin and juicy meat—cooking time can vary, so keep an eye on them!
- Once they’re done, let these beauties rest for about 5 minutes before serving. This helps lock in all the moisture!
Time to Serve
When you’re ready to serve, garnish with some fresh herbs for that pop of color. These Rusty Chicken Thighs pair beautifully with some fluffy rice or a fresh garden salad. Dig in, and enjoy every juicy bite! Trust me, your family is gonna be asking for seconds!
