    Notes

    Chicken thighs only need to reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees to be cooked, however they are much more tender when they're cooked to a higher internal temperature. You can also briefly broil if desired to further crisp up the skin then let the chicken thighs rest for 10 minutes before serving.
