Notes

Chicken thighs only need to reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees to be cooked, however they are much more tender when they're cooked to a higher internal temperature. You can also briefly broil if desired to further crisp up the skin then let the chicken thighs rest for 10 minutes before serving.
 
Crazy Busy Mama tip:
You can make extras and dice them up for quick meals for the week for quesadillas or quick skillet meals.
