Yummy Baked Chicken Thighs Recipe
I made this chicken recipe tonight using a number of sources for ideas and ended up making baked chicken thighs that were absolutely delish! The crust was crispy, the chicken was juicy, and the simple flavors melded well.
I think were my best chicken thighs ever and I would love to hear from you if you decide to make them!
Serve with green beans and potato salad for a delicious weekday dinner.
Leftover chicken is great either cold or gently warmed in the microwave.
I was in such a rush to write out the recipe after dinner, that I forgot to take a pic. Next time!
