Servings :6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 kg chicken thighs about 8 chicken thighs Bone-in, skin-on
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt and pepper
- 1 tablespoon chicken spice blend
- 1 teaspoon cajun spice
- 2 teaspoons paprika dry rub
Instructions
Preheat and Prep
- Preheat the oven to 220°C (428°F). Fan forced 195°C (383°F) The chicken thighs should be removed from the fridge and allowed to reach room temperature. With kitchen paper towel, pat them dry, removing any moisture.
Season
- Place the now dry chicken thighs, on a large plate and season well with salt and pepper. Add the olive oil and rub into the chicken.
- Add half the spice and pat into the chicken. Lift the skin and get some spice underneath. Gently pull the skin back to cover the thigh (looks neater too).
- Transfer to a roasting pan with a rack or directly onto a roasting pan if you don't have a rack. Sprinkle the remaining spices over covering the surface of the skin.
Bake the Chicken Thighs
- Bake for 40 minutes or until a meat thermometer reaches 74°C (165°F).
- Rest for 5 to 10 minutes and enjoy!
Notes
Grill/Broil: I didn't find the need to grill to get the skin extra crispy but if you need it more crispy, grill (broil) for 2 minutes. You should watch it doesnt instantly burn the spices.
