Ingredients
- 4-6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 2 pounds)
- 1 tablespoon expeller-pressed canola oil, safflower or sunflower oil
- salt
- freshly ground black pepper
Directions
- Step 1: Heat oven to 350F on convection setting or 375F on conventional setting.
- Step 2: Pat chicken thighs dry and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of oil and turn to coat all the pieces with the oil. Sprinkle generously on both sides with salt and pepper.
- Step 3: Roast, rotating the pan once or twice until juices run clear when you pierce a thigh near the bone, about 25 minutes. Serve hot. Or cool and refrigerate for up to several days to use shredded or chopped in salads, sandwiches, rice bowls, enchiladas, etc.
