Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 4-6 Skin-on bone-in chicken thighs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon pepper seasoning
- ½ teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (about 200°C). Let it preheat while you prepare the chicken.
- Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel to ensure a crispy skin.
- Sprinkle both sides of each thigh with a pinch of salt and pepper for seasoning.
- Lemon Pepper Magic: Generously coat each chicken thigh with the zesty flavor of lemon pepper seasoning. Adjust according to your taste preferences.
- Paprika Perfection: Sprinkle a touch of paprika over the thighs. This will add a hint of smokiness and a beautiful color.
- Bake to Perfection: Place the seasoned chicken thighs on a baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 65 minutes or until the skin is golden brown and crispy, and the internal temperature reaches a safe 165°F (74°C).
- Serve and Enjoy: Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving to ensure juiciness. Garnish with fresh herbs or a wedge of lemon for an extra burst of flavor.
