Doneness
Skin is deep golden brown and crisp; juices run clear; meat near the bone is no longer pink.
Oil & seasoning
Optional — thighs render their own fat. A light spray helps if the skin is already crisped.
Season with: salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder.
Watch out for
- Dark meat must reach at least 175 °F / 79 °C internally for the connective tissue to break down — pulling at 165 °F leaves them rubbery.
- Bone-in thighs need an extra 4–6 minutes; check internal temp at the joint.
