Ingredients

  • 2.5 lbs Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 3 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Pepper
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • 1 Egg white, beaten until frothy

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 450°F.
  2. Toss bone-in skin-on chicken thighs with 2.5 teaspoons of salt, along with the pepper and paprika.
  3. Prepare a rimmed baking sheet by lining with foil and setting a cooling rack on top. Arrange the chicken thighs skin side up on the cooling rack and brush with the whipped egg whites.
  4. Reduce temp to 425°F. Bake for 30 minutes, until chicken thigh temp reaches 170°F with an instant read thermometer.

Note: The egg white is essential to achieving extra crispy skin!
