Ingredients

8 servings
  • 4 lbs chicken thighs
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a large baking tray or half sheet pan with foil and place all the chicken pieces on it, skin side down. 

  2. Sprinkle each piece of chicken with salt and pepper and flip each piece skin side up.  Drizzle about a teaspoon of oil over the skin on each piece of chicken and rub lightly to coat. Sprinkle again with salt and pepper.

  3. Bake for 55-65 minutes, until most of the fat has rendered out of the chicken and the skin is golden brown and crisp. Remove from the oven and let rest about 5 minutes before serving.
