"Skin-on chicken thighs seasoned with olive oil, sweet paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and oregano, roasted at 200°C for 40 minutes. A simple and practical preparation that delivers meat very juicy on the inside and skin dry and crispy."

This roasted chicken thighs recipe guarantees a juicy inside and irresistibly crispy skin using only basic ingredients and a baking sheet. Ideal for those looking for flavor and practicality in daily cooking.

O Que Você Precisa Saber

- Thorough drying of the thigh skin with paper towels eliminates the moisture that prevents the formation of the crispy crust. - Spaced distribution on the baking sheet in a single layer prevents the accumulation of steam that softens the chicken. - The dry heat at 200°C melts the fat under the skin while browning the outer layer without drying out the bone.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 8 units (approx. 1.2 kg) Chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Sweet paprika (or smoked)
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Cebola em pó
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dry oregano
  • 1 teaspoon (or to taste) Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon (or to taste) Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon (optional, for a spicy touch) Pimenta caiena

Instructions

Instructions

1

Pré-aqueça o forno a 200°C (400°F). Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper to facilitate later cleaning. If you prefer, use a non-stick baking sheet.

2

Dry the chicken thighs meticulously with paper towels. The most important tip is to remove as much moisture as possible from the skin, which is crucial to ensure a crispy and golden texture. Very dry chicken roasts better.

3

In a large bowl, add the chicken thighs. Drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Massage the seasonings well into all the thighs, ensuring they are evenly covered. The secret of this recipe is the homogeneous distribution of the seasonings.

4

Arrange the seasoned chicken thighs on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring there is space between them. This is essential for skin to turn crispy; overcrowding the baking sheet can cause the chicken to steam. Do not overlap the pieces.

5

Asse no forno pré-aquecido por 35 a 45 minutos. O tempo pode variar dependendo do tamanho das coxas e do seu forno. A técnica profissional é verificar se a temperatura interna da parte mais espessa da coxa, sem tocar o osso, atingiu 74°C (165°F).

6

For an even more golden and crispy skin, in the last 5-10 minutes of cooking, you can increase the oven temperature to 220°C (425°F) or turn on the 'grill'/'broil' function, watching carefully not to burn. This final step ensures that perfect crust that everyone loves.

7

Remove the chicken thighs from the oven and let them rest in the baking dish for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. This allows juices to redistribute throughout meat, resulting in an even juicier, more flavorful chicken. It's a simple step, but it makes all the difference.

Chef Tips

- Seque muito bem as coxas antes de temperar; qualquer umidade na pele resulta em textura mole após o forno. - Utilize uma grade colocada sobre a assadeira para que o ar quente circule por toda a volta de cada coxa. - Ligue o grill superior nos últimos 5 minutos de forno para atingir uma coloração dourada profunda e pele pururucada.

Variations

- Pincele mostarda Dijon misturada com mel sobre a pele das coxas nos últimos 10 minutos de forno. - Adicione batatas pequenas cortadas ao meio na assadeira para assarem na gordura temperada do frango. - Salpique raspas finas de limão e folhas de alecrim fresco desfolhadas sobre o frango antes de assar.

Substitutions

- Sweet paprika can be replaced by smoked paprika or hot paprika for toasted notes. - The chicken drumsticks can be replaced by bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, adjusting the time to 45 minutes. - Extra virgin olive oil can be replaced by corn oil or melted clarified butter.

How to Store

Store the roasted thighs in a container lined with paper towels in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat while keeping the skin crispy, place in the air fryer at 180°C for 5 minutes or in the oven at 200°C for 8 minutes.

Can You Freeze It?

Freeze the already seasoned raw thighs in a proper freezer bag for up to 90 days. To roast, thaw in the refrigerator overnight, dry the skin again, and roast at 200°C.

What to Serve With

Harmoniza perfeitamente com purê de batatas com manteiga, arroz de açafrão soltinho, salada de tomate com cebola roxa e cerveja gelada.

Frequently Asked Questions

Como saber se a carne da coxa de frango assou completamente junto ao osso?

Insira um palito ou termômetro culinário até encostar no osso: a temperatura interna deve atingir pelo menos 74°C e o suco que escorrer deve ser totalmente límpido, sem traços rosados.

Why shouldn't you cover the chicken with aluminum foil in this recipe?

Covering the chicken traps the steam, cooking the skin in water instead of roasting; to get crispy, crackling skin, always bake uncovered in direct heat at 200°C.

Can I prepare these chicken drumsticks in the air fryer?

Yes, arrange the thighs in the airfryer basket at 190°C for about 25 to 30 minutes, turning halfway through until the skin is perfectly golden and crispy.

O alho em pó funciona melhor que o alho fresco nesta marinada seca?

Sim, pedacinhos de alho fresco picado queimam e amargam com facilidade nos 40 minutos de forno a 200°C, enquanto o alho em pó doura uniformemente sem queimar.
