I also find it very important to brown the chicken first. I cover my chicken thighs as they are cooking to create a more moist end result and I also prefer a crispy skin. I love serving this dish with a side of pureed cauliflower. MmmmMMMmmmmm delicious!
Simple Roasted Chicken Thighs
ROASTED CHICKEN THIGHS
Ingredients
- 4 chicken thighs with the skin attached
- Salt
- Ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
- Sprinkle liberal amounts of salt all over the chicken thighs. Don’t be afraid to rub the salt all over it for even coating.
- Lightly sprinkle pepper over the thighs. I emphasize lightly because too much pepper can be overwhelming.
- Using a large sauce pan, place some ghee or preferred fat in the pan and turn to medium-high heat.
- When the grass fed ghee is sizzling place the chicken thighs in the pan.
- Let the chicken thighs brown on both sides. About 5 minutes on each side.
- Place the browned chicken thighs in a casserole dish with a lid.
- Cook for about 45 minutes (with the lid on during the whole time) or until the juices run clear. I use a meat thermometer to verify the chicken is done.
- Baste occasionally while roasting.
Enjoy,
