Crispy Baked BBQ Chicken Thighs
Crispy Baked BBQ Chicken Thighs is a must try dinner recipe for sure, so easy and budget friendly (aka-cheap) too!
This recipe has an easy trick for getting the crispiest chicken skin when baking it, it takes only 5 minutes to prepare, and it’s only 4 ingredients.
How to Make Crispy Baked BBQ Chicken Thighs!
It starts with 3 pounds of chicken thighs.
Mix together your favorite BBQ seasoning, season salt, and some baking powder.
The baking powder is what makes the skin super crispy, but doesn’t add flavor.
Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and rub both sides with the BBQ baking powder mixture.
Place them on a wire rack over a lined baking sheet.
It’s ok if you don’t have a wire baking rack.
It does help the air to circulate around the chicken, but on a lined baking sheet would be just fine.
The next part of the crispy skin trick is starting this in a 475 degree oven for 15 minutes.
Then lower the heat to 425 for an additional 30 minutes.
Crispy Baked BBQ Chicken Thighs smells AHHHH-MAAAZING as it cooks 🙂
Checking the temp with an instant read thermometer is recommended.
You could serve this with some BBQ sauce on the side for dipping as well.
Although I thought it was amazing just like this 🙂
