My goodness, this was so unbelievably delicious that I had to share it here! I have never had chicken skin come out so crispy. I followed the recipe but also sprinkled the chicken with paprika and a bit of smoked sea salt. It was so good! The only thing I would do differently next time is cook it about 5 minutes longer in the oven. I did use a cast iron skillet.

This is a little workier than my method, but faster. I'll have to give it a go - especially if I'm very hungry!

All I do is put the chicken thighs in a cast iron pan, put it in a cold oven, turn the heat to 350 or 375, then wait an hour. Perfect every time.
