Chipotle Roasted Chicken Thighs
Description
Smoky, spicy, and oh-so juicy 🔥🍗 My chipotle roasted chicken thighs are roasted until the skin is crispy perfection, with a smoky heat that’s balanced by just the right touch of tang. The chipotle rub seeps into every bite, giving that deep, bold flavor you can’t stop thinking about. Perfect with roasted veggies, rice, or just straight off the pan… because honestly, who’s judging? 😏
Would you take yours with extra chipotle or keep it mild?

2 pounds chicken thighs, bone-in, skin on

Heat oven to 425F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Lay the onions and pepper slices on the baking sheet. Lay the chicken on top of the peppers and onions in a single layer roast for 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is 165F internal temperature. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and serve.
