The combination of seasonings, simple method and cooking temperature create a juicy baked chicken thigh with crisp skin that’s sure to become a family favorite.
How To Bake Crispy Chicken Thighs
First thing you’re going to want to do is make sure you pat down the chicken thighs with plenty of paper towels to get the skin nice and dry.
Similar to my method of Oven Baked Chicken Wings, a dry skin = a crispy skin.
The Best Oven Roasted Chicken Seasoning
All you need are a few simple spices to mix up the BEST Oven Roasted Chicken Seasoning. This spice blend reminds me of the seasonings they put on rotisserie chicken that you can get at the grocery store, but with a little more punch to it!
Once you have your seasonings mixed up, generously coat the chicken thighs all over with the blend and rub into the skin.
Do I Have To Use Chicken Thighs?
For this recipe we are using bone-in, skin on chicken thighs. Not only is this a super affordable cut of chicken, it also lends to being very flavorful and juicy when cooked properly.
You could also make this recipe using drumsticks or even bone-in, skin on chicken breasts. You’ll just want to make sure to check the internal temperature of the chicken while it’s roasting to make sure it doesn’t over cook.
PRO TIP: If you’re using a boneless, skinless chicken thigh I would recommend following my Last Minute Chicken Recipe. If you’re wanting the BEST Baked Chicken Breast, follow my fail-proof methods in this blog post.

How Long To Roast Chicken Thighs?
Keep in mind that when baking chicken thighs (or any chicken for that matter) that is bone-in and skin-on, the time will take longer than compared to a boneless, skinless chicken. The temperature of the oven can also affect the length of time you bake your chicken thighs. Here is a handy guide to help you when roasting or baking chicken thighs.
Chicken Thighs are considered safe to eat when they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees at the thickest portion. What’s great about bone-in chicken thighs is that you can actually cook the chicken much higher in temperature (to really get that skin crispy) and it still remains nice and juicy.
What To Serve with Oven Roasted Chicken Thighs
I love making these juicy baked chicken thighs because they pair with just about anything! Turn it into a comfort meal by serving it alongside some yummy carbs and steamed veggies, keep it light by serving with a salad or low carb with some riced cauliflower. Here are a few more ideas to get you started…
