Oven Roasted Chicken (cut up, not whole)

Ingredients:
Chicken thighs, skin on
Olive oil
Salt and pepper
Additional dry seasoning(s) of choice (if desired)

Preparation:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Use "Roast" setting, if available.

2. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.

3. Pat chicken thighs dry, and place on baking sheet.

4. Drizzle each piece of chicken with olive oil on both sides and rub the oil into the chicken well.

5. Salt and pepper each piece of chicken, and add any additional desired dry seasonings. Rub the seasoning into each side of the chicken, being careful not to dislodge the chicken skin.

6. Place chicken in oven on middle rack and bake for 30 minutes.

7. Decrease the oven temperature to 375 degrees and bake for 20 more minutes until tender when poked with a knife. Internal temperature of the chicken should be 165 degrees when it is done (this may happen a little faster than the suggested time, depending on the oven.)

8. Remove from the oven, and cover with foil until ready to serve, so that chicken doesn't dry out.
