One of my knacks is tweaking recipes so that they are good for you but still just as tasty. I have learned over the years to substitute certain ingredients with other more healthful ingredients but still gives that creamy taste or crispy texture.
For those who love crispy fried chicken but don’t want to deal with the fried fat give this recipe a try. It’s super simple too.
Crispy Baked Chicken
(serves 4)
Ingredients:
1.2 lbs chicken thighs
2 tbsp chicken seasoning (can be BBQ rub)
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Method:
Preheat oven to 385 degrees F
2. Trim the excess fat off the chicken thighs. Season both sides with rub or seasoning and add salt and pepper then place open and flat on a baking dish lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil on both sides.
3. Bake for 45 - 1 hour depending on how crispy you’d like the chicken.
4. Serve with chopped celery and low fat ranch dip or add to a salad.
