How to Prepare Chicken Thighs with Bone?

Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels

Trim excess skin or fat if needed

Season with salt, pepper, and any desired spices or herbs

Let the thighs rest at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes

Preheat the oven to 400°F or heat a skillet over medium-high heat

If baking, place the thighs skin-side up on a lined baking sheet or in a roasting pan

If pan-searing, place the thighs skin-side down in a hot oiled skillet

Cook until the skin is browned and crisp, if using skin-on thighs

Flip the thighs if needed and continue cooking

Roast or cook until the internal temperature reaches 165°F at the thickest part near the bone

Let the chicken rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving

Serve with your preferred sides or sauce
