These crispy and juicy baked chicken thighs<\/strong> make for the perfect weeknight meal. They\u2019re incredibly easy to make, packed with flavor, have the crispiest skin, and are much healthier than traditional fried chicken. So much to love!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a kid I loved KFC chicken, but my favorite part was the crispy skin that was full of herbs and flavor. In fact, I may have eaten the skin more than the meat!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, I no longer eat KFC (for obvious reasons) but I still love tender, juicy chicken with crispy, flavorful skin. And that’s where my baked chicken thighs come in. With a drizzle of oil and a generous amount of dried herbs you can create crispy baked chicken that the whole family will love. And you can feel good knowing it’s healthier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So if you love the crispy, golden skin on my roast chicken<\/a>, and the spiced flavor of my baked chicken breasts<\/a>, you’re going to really love<\/em> these baked chicken thighs! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
