Life has been a whirlwind lately. My partner, Jake, is a high school lacrosse coach, which means his schedule is all over the place. Some nights he strolls in around 7:30 p.m., and other nights he doesn’t make it home until well past 10:00 p.m. This makes family dinners quite the adventure. By “adventure,” I mean a test of patience. And by “test,” I mean almost impossible.
I’ve been on a mission to whip up meals that not only please the kiddos but also keep well for Jake to reheat later. On days he’s home a bit earlier, I often feed the kids first and then enjoy a late dinner with him—though “together” usually means me in the living room while he unwinds in his man cave. Just to clarify, we’re not the candlelight dinner type; we’re more of the “let’s eat in separate rooms” couple. It works for us, most of the time.
Today, I’m sharing a family favorite that reheats beautifully: Crispy Oven-Baked Chicken Thighs. Pair it with creamy mashed potatoes and some vibrant steamed corn for a delightful meal. Yum!
Ingredients:
- 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1/4 teaspoon finely ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F.
- Arrange the chicken thighs on a baking sheet and drizzle them generously with olive oil.
- Sprinkle each thigh with garlic salt, black pepper, and parsley.
- Bake for 50 minutes, or until the skin is golden brown and crispy.
- Allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
