Tips & Tricks (5)

Garlic Powder Pro Tip 🧄
Toast the garlic powder in a dry skillet for 30 seconds before seasoning to intensify its flavor and reduce any raw, bitter notes.
Moisture Magic 💦
Pat chicken thighs completely dry with paper towels before seasoning to ensure a perfect crispy exterior and better herb adherence.
Oil Distribution Technique 🖌️
Use a silicone brush to evenly coat chicken thighs with olive oil, ensuring consistent browning and preventing dry spots.
Skinless Thigh Secret 🔪
Score the chicken thighs lightly with a sharp knife to help seasonings penetrate deeper and create more surface area for flavor.
Baking Tray Trick 🥘
Use a wire rack on your baking sheet to allow air circulation around the chicken, resulting in more even cooking and crispier edges.
