Easy Oven-Baked Chicken Thighs with Crispy Skin

In today’s fast-paced world, managing a busy family schedule can be quite challenging. My partner, Alex, is a coach for the local high school lacrosse team, which means that his return home can vary greatly—some nights he’s home by 7:30 p.m., while on others, it can be as late as 10:00 p.m. This makes preparing a family dinner an intriguing endeavor. To clarify, by “intriguing,” I mean it often feels impossible.

With this in mind, I’ve been focusing on meals that not only allow the kids and I to dine together but also reheat well for Alex when he gets home. On occasions when he arrives a bit earlier, I’ll serve the children first and then enjoy a meal with Alex later, albeit in different rooms—me in the living room and him in his man cave. I wanted to address this “together” aspect upfront, as you might envision a romantic candlelit dinner setting, which is not our style. While I prefer a more casual atmosphere, Alex enjoys the traditional dinner setup. It’s an unconventional arrangement, but it suits us well most of the time.

One of our go-to recipes that fits this busy lifestyle is Easy Oven-Baked Chicken Thighs with Crispy Skin. This dish pairs wonderfully with creamy buttered mashed potatoes and steamed corn. Here’s how to prepare it:

Ingredients:

  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon finely ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley

Directions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Arrange the chicken thighs on a baking sheet and generously drizzle with olive oil.
  3. Season each thigh with garlic salt, black pepper, and parsley.
  4. Bake in the oven for about 50 minutes, or until the skin is golden brown and crisp.
  5. Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

This recipe not only tastes delicious but is also convenient for reheating, making it perfect for busy nights.
