Our family loves these chicken thighs. I make them 2-3 times a month. They are so easy, so full of flavor and can be served with many different sides. We have even lovingly nicknamed my daughter ‘vulture’ because whenever there is crispy chicken skin around, she will be right there to snag some 🙂 Truth be told, we all do it!

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:
