For extra crispy skin, consider broiling the chicken for the last 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
Feel free to experiment with different spice blends to customize the flavor profile. A pinch of cayenne pepper can add a touch of heat, while smoked paprika can impart a smoky depth.
Ensure the chicken thighs are relatively uniform in size for even cooking.
Resting the chicken is crucial for optimal juiciness. Don't skip this step!
Chicken thighs can be marinated for several hours or overnight to enhance flavor and tenderness. Consider marinating in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and your favorite herbs and spices before baking.
