Crispy Baked Chicken Thighs

Easy, very crispy chicken thighs. They are at their very best fresh out of the oven. They reheat okay in the microwave, but you always lose that initial super-crisp skin.

Chef's Thoughts

I usually pick up the skin on, bone in chicken thighs at Costco for this recipe - makes about three baking sheets worth!
