These bone-in easy oven fried chicken thighs will become a fast favorite in your house. The perfectly crispy skin melts in your mouth and is worth fighting over!
When my kids were little, springtime got a little bit nuts schedule-wise.
Actually, it was a lot nuts.
Back then, my husband was a high school lacrosse coach and the season kicked off March 1. From March to June he was pretty much out of pocket — some days home around 7:30 p.m., and other nights he wouldn’t get home until 10:00 p.m. or later. Sometimes he’d be gone a few days at a stretch depending on tournament and club travel schedules.
Couple that with my eldest’s afterschool activity schedule, and it made cooking a family dinner challenging. And by “challenging” I mean nearly impossible.
Instead I tried to cook meals that the kids and I could eat together, but would also save well for a late night re-heat for my husband.
This chaos is how my oven fried chicken thighs recipe was born. And, even though things have settled down now that our kids are older, these oven fried chicken thighs are still a staple in my recipe rotation over a decade later.
Between simple prep, inexpensive and limited ingredients, and easy reheat-ability, it’s no wonder I’ve considered these crispy baked chicken thighs a go-to all these years!
Here are some favorite recipes I like to pair with oven fried chicken thighs:
- Homemade mashed potatoes
- Roasted brussels sprouts with bacon
- Old fashioned creamy potato salad
- Corn on the cob
- Gorgonzola, almond, cranberry, and field green salad
- Scalloped potatoes
