Ingredients

4 chicken thighs bone in, skin on
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1.5 teaspoons ras el hanout
salt

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Take the chicken thighs and trim away any excess skin. Pat dry with paper towels. Drizzle olive oil over chicken thighs and rub into all surfaces.
Add a sprinkling of salt over the chicken thighs, then rub the ras el hanout seasoning all over the chicken thighs until coated.
Place the chicken thighs on a sheet pan, skin side up. Roast at 400 degrees F for 35-45 minutes, or until chicken thighs reach an internal temperature of 185-195 degrees F.
Remove from the oven, let rest for at least 5 minutes, then serve.

Notes

Cooking time will depend on the size of your chicken thighs. I typically cook mine for 40-45 minutes, but you may need to slightly increase or decrease based on the size of chicken thighs.
These chicken thighs cook perfectly on a baking sheet. I do not recommend cooking in a casserole dish, as it will affect the skin crisping us as nicely.
This recipe is easy to double! Just make sure to leave room between the chicken thighs on the baking sheet.
