Crispy Irish Oven-Fried Chicken Thighs Instructions
  1. Begin by immersing your bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs in a bowl of buttermilk. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or preferably overnight.
  2. While the chicken is marinating, mix together the all-purpose flour, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder in a large bowl.
  3. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) while you finish preparing your chicken.
  4. Once marinated, remove the chicken thighs from the buttermilk and dredge each thigh in the seasoned flour mixture.
  5. Place the coated chicken thighs on a wire rack set over a baking sheet.
  6. Generously drizzle olive oil over the coated chicken thighs.
  7. Place the baking sheet in your preheated oven and bake for 35-45 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  8. Once cooked, remove the chicken and let it rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
