What You Need:

• Chicken Thighs - Bone In/Skin On; I get mine from ButcherBox. They are the best and they get delivered right to my front door!
• Avocado Oil - you can also use olive oil
• Chicken Spice Rub - I use my Easy Chicken Spice Rub, but I also love Primal Palate's Meat & Potato Seasoning
• Baking Sheet with rack

Let's Bake Chicken:

1. Preheat the oven to 400'
2. Trim any excess skin off of the chicken and pat dry with a paper towel
3. Add the chicken to a bowl with the oil and seasoning, toss to coat (I use my sugar-free chicken spice rub)
4. Place the chicken on the rack over the baking sheet (skin side up) and bake for 45-60 minutes (time depends on the size of the thighs - internal temp should be 165'F)
5. Once chicken is cooked through, brush with juices from the pan and enjoy!

What to Serve with It:

• The Best Baked Potato
• Thyme Roasted Radishes
• Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes
• The Best Ever Cauliflower Mash
• Dairy Free Scalloped Potatoes
• Gluten Free Drop Biscuits
• Creamy Cheesy Instant Pot Brussels Sprouts
