Ingredients:
-
8 Chicken Thighs
-
3 tablespoons Butter
-
1 teaspoon Salt
-
Optional: Black Pepper
(to taste)
Instructions:
-
Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top, greased with butter.
-
Season the Chicken: Pat each chicken thigh dry with paper towels to ensure crispy skin. Season with salt and pepper.
-
Coat with Butter: Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and pour it over the chicken thighs, ensuring they’re well-coated.
-
Bake at Low Temp: Place the chicken thighs on the wire rack and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
-
Increase Heat for Crispiness: Raise the temperature to 430°F (220°C) and bake for an additional 4-5 minutes until the skin turns golden brown and crispy.
-
Rest and Serve: Let the chicken rest for 15 minutes to lock in the juices, then slice and enjoy!
Tips:
-
Pat Dry for Crispy Skin: Always dry the chicken thoroughly to avoid steaming the skin, which prevents it from crisping up.
-
Resting Time is Crucial: Don’t skip the 15-minute rest to let the juices redistribute, making the chicken extra juicy.
Storage:
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. These chicken thighs stay juicy even when reheated!
