Ingredients
Scale
For brining
- 1 (5 pound) package of bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 1 1/2 Tbsp kosher salt
To cook the chicken
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 1/2 tsp seasoned salt
- 1 Tbsp smoked paprika
Instructions
- Place pieces of chicken in a large airtight container. Pour the butter milk and kosher salt into the container and stir to incorporate. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
- When ready to cook discard the buttermilk mixture and place the pieces of chicken on a baking sheet. Pat the pieces of chicken dry with paper towels.
- Drizzle the top of the chicken with the olive oil. In a small bowl stir together the onion powder, garlic powder, seasoned salt and smoked paprika. Sprinkle the mixture over the chicken and season both side of the chicken.
- If cooking in your oven preheat the oven to 450° F. Bake chicken for 20 minutes, flip the chicken over and bake for another 20 minutes. Test the chicken for doneness by using a digital thermometer to see if the internal part of the chicken is 165° F. Some pieces of chicken are larger than others and may take longer to cook than smaller pieces of chicken. If cooking in an air fryer (you may have to work in batches) air fry for 10 minutes at 350° F and then flip the chicken over and air fryer for 10 more minutes. Test the chicken for doneness by using a digital thermometer to see if the internal part of the chicken is 165° F. Some pieces of chicken are larger than others and may take longer to cook than smaller pieces of chicken.
