Just like the title says "ridiculously easy" and so good! We only had 4 thighs and used celery salt and garlic powder for wonderful thighs with almost no work. Thanks for sharing!

I scaled back for 1 serve and used what we call a Maryland cut of chicken (thigh and drumstick kept intact) and roasted as per instructions allowing 50 minutes for it to cook to perfection wonderfully crispy skin and moist tender meat and was also done with my sides for potato and veggies. Thank you CookingUpAStorm,. made for Alphabet Tag Game at FF&F.

It is so easy and quick, and the kids liked it so that's a plus with me! Best part is the crispy skin. Yum!

The name of this recipe says it all - it is ridiculously easy - and so very yummy that my entire family enjoyed it. The prep time was quick and the roasting time (I did it for 50 minutes for extra crispy skin) allowed for just enough time to put together a salad and steam some veggies. Thanks CookingUpAStorm!

Ridiculously easy?, yes! but ridiculously good! A great recipe for a single guy who is not much of a cook, I made a pan of 8 thighs I ate 6 then a hour later polished of the last two on the pan, this is a great recipe for chicken, thanks.
