Muslos de pollo deshuesados y sin piel, jugosos y al horno

Ingredientes

• 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 6-8 thighs)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Preparación

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup. If using, place a wire rack on the baking sheet.

2. 2

   In a small bowl, combine the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk with a fork until evenly mixed.

3. 3

   Pat the chicken thighs completely dry with paper towels and place them in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle the spice mixture over them.

4. 4

   Use your hands to toss and massage the chicken, ensuring each thigh is thoroughly coated with the oil and spices.

5. 5

   Arrange the seasoned chicken thighs on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Ensure there is space between each piece to promote roasting instead of steaming.

6. 6

   Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) when checked with an instant-read thermometer.

7. 7

   For an extra crispy crust, you can switch the oven to broil for the last 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.

8. 8

   Remove the chicken from the oven and transfer it to a cutting board. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring maximum tenderness.
