Make bone in chicken recipes with crispy skin using fresh spring herbs for a comforting, easy roasted chicken dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone in, skin on chicken thighs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Place a wire rack inside a baking sheet.
  2. Pat the chicken thighs completely dry with paper towels. This step helps achieve crispy skin.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
  4. Rub the chicken thighs all over with olive oil. Sprinkle the salt and spice mixture evenly over the skin side of the chicken.
  5. Place the seasoned chicken thighs skin-side up on the wire rack.
  6. Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit and the skin is deeply golden brown and crisp.
  7. While the chicken rests for 5 minutes after removing it from the oven, combine the chopped dill, parsley, and thyme in a small bowl.
  8. Sprinkle the fresh herb mixture over the hot, crispy chicken thighs before serving.

Notes

  • For extra crispy skin, you can place the seasoned chicken in the refrigerator uncovered for up to 4 hours before baking.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness; this prevents overcooking.
