Tips
- For extra crispy skin, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end, watching closely to avoid burning.
- If you prefer boneless thighs, reduce cooking time slightly.
Storage
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven to maintain crispy skin.
Serving Suggestions
- Pairs perfectly with roasted vegetables or a simple green salad.
