Perfectly Roasted Chicken

These perfectly roasted chicken thighs are just well... perfect! 
This cut of meat is difficult to overcook and is more loved than drumsticks, more tender than chicken breasts and a rather delectable dinner. Serve with some roasted veggies or salad on the side and your family will walk in raving about the smell ready to sit and eat together! Leftovers can be used to create amazing homemade broth. (See my Chicken broth recipe.)
Also, have some bread handy, my family loves to dip it in the pan drippings, sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good!

Perfectly Roasted Chicken
Ingredients: 
Well, Chicken! Thighs to be exact :)
8-10 chicken thighs, bone in and skin on
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Spices:
Salt
Cracked Pepper
Rosemary (freshly chopped or dried)
Garlic Powder

Steps:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2. Use a baking dish or parchment lined baking sheet.
3.  Lightly drizzle chicken on both sides with olive oil.  You don't need much because the chicken skin has fat in it as well.
4. Season both sides with the spices - salt, pepper, rosemary, garlic powder.  Season to your taste and feel free to add additional spices that you may like. GO Crazy :)
5. Bake for one hour.
6. Remove from oven and serve in baking dish.

Short Cut ALERT!!!
Once the chicken has roasted for at least 40 minutes and is nice and crispy you can throw in some string beans.  Right into the same pan!  They will get seasoned with the drippings and bake for the last 20 minutes with the chicken.  Clean up will be great - only one pan!
