Tips & Tricks (5)
- Seasoning Penetration 🌶️Mix Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and red pepper flakes in a bowl first to ensure even distribution across the chicken thighs.
- Moisture Mastery 💦Pat chicken thighs completely dry with paper towels before seasoning to help achieve a perfect golden-brown sear and prevent steaming.
- Nonstick Spray Technique 🥄Spray nonstick cooking spray in a thin, even layer to prevent excessive oil buildup and promote healthier, more consistent browning.
- Thigh Thickness Uniformity ✂️If chicken thighs are uneven, gently pound them to a consistent thickness using plastic wrap to ensure uniform cooking.
- Flavor Layering Trick 🧄For extra depth, consider adding a light dusting of fresh garlic powder right after cooking to enhance the aromatic profile.
