All I gotta say is Yummm!! I didn't see the original vid but this one was spot on and I cannot wait to try this chicken recipe. Thx for the post!!
I have told alot of people about your channel. And I love this recipe!
You didn't wash them? You suppose to wash the chicken before you use them
Hi Chef Ange another great recipe. How about a recipe for pork tenderloin.
Wash your foods before you cook them. How dare you put potatoes straight.from the bag and don't wash them.
Nice update, bro! I lived off that og recipe, lol. One simple thing I like to do is brine the chicken (just salt + water) and THEN I do the prep. Keep up the great work!
I enjoy your videos! Don't change a thing due to the naysayers 😀. I look forward to the end when you taste the food.
yum, must try this
Oh yeah, I love your base seasoning. I make it in large batches and keep it in a container like yours. So its ready for my daily use ❤
Great update, loved your original recipe 😀 👌
This is a beautiful plate ❤
I'm making it exactly 💯 like this for my niece on our Thanksgiving Day dinner. She doesn't like turkey 🦃 or stuffing. I usually make some grilled chicken breast for her and the little kids who do not eat turkey. I'll be making this instead. This is absolutely perfect 👌 😍
Thanks Chef Ange 💕
Love, love, LOVE crispy well seasoned fried chicken and this recipe/video is da bomb! 🥰
Looking good! Would love to taste that .. keep sharing my friend! I’m subscribed! 🙏
I love this recipe. I make it at least once a week, my roommates love it. They also never had asparagus before and now it's their favorite. Keep up the great work. Love this channel.
Looks so tasty!
My mouth is watering!!!
The original has been my guide to many great oven chicken dinners. Appreciate the new version 🤙🏼
This was the one that hooked me, CA. Soooo glad your uploads are more frequent now!!
Thank you Chef Ange….this is such a delicious meal….I love making it and never tire of it❤❤❤
C-kin Thigs are my favorite part of the Chicken, yours look wonderful, I don't like using the oven so much though!
Dude, you've got to have some "Italian blood" in you, anyone who can stuff that much food inside of your mouth > AHAHHA> Wow!
Looks amazing. Doesn't matter how many times you had it. If it's good, it's good
This looks amazing! Will this work in a conventional oven?
First time I cooked the thighs this way, my hubby was hooked. Didn’t like them before. I’ve used the air fryer several times and they are always delicious. Thank you!! Like the update. Now I’m hungry. 😊❤
Perfect
Thanks! Nice update to the original! Thanks Again.
I enjoy this recipe, although I suspect it would be better yet if I had a convection oven. I change a few things – but that's what improving the meals you prepare at home is all about. Thank you sir for the recipe and the video on the preparation. We're one of those still in the Dark Ages with a conventional oven. I'm still playing with temperatures and times for best results to improve the skin crispiness. Any suggestions on times and temperatures for conventional ovens to minimize conventional oven experimentation? (we don't mind eating the results of each experiment…)
Chef Ange, a minor whispered suggestion to you: do little to acknowledge the Karen Class of online bitchers, whiners, and complainers who contribute nothing to the conversation other than their complaints and criticism.
Apologizing to them won't make them go away; they don't respond to apologies or acknowledgement; if anything, they'll just come back to take another bite out of your ass. I doubt anybody visits cooking channels for essential information on food hygiene, safe preparation, etc. If somebody disagrees with something, a normal person would do it the way they feel is better. Or at the most, politely ask the author of the cooking video they're watching why they do it that way instead of their preferred way.
After 30 years of government paid vacations to the two way rifle ranges all over the world and watching what is safe food preparation in Somalia, Afghanistan, etc… common sense in food prep is obviously important. But if it was as critical as the shrieking Karen Class make it out to be on your channel and others, the major cause of death in those countries would be from food poisoning as a result of poor food handling practices. Not the violence of war, genocide, starvation, inadequate medical care, etc.
Ne permittas Karen carborundum, Chef Ange.
I love your cooking style. You are amazing…..
Love this recipe. I was having trouble making good crispy chicken. I gave it a try and it was delicious!
Yummy. I'm a new subscriber. I was watching America Test Kitchens video and came across this one. This one looks so much better. Yummy
Wow! Bone-in chicken thighs are always the CHEAPEST chicken cuts… and I used to be pissed off about the flabby, excess skin. You'd buy a packet of thighs and they'd look meaty on top, but when you got them home and flipped them over — nothing but FLABBY SKIN. Hey, I paid for meat — not skin!!! So I always cut it off with scissors. But now I see the beauty of that skin. How good is this recipe? Well, I made it last night for guests and served it with an expensive French wine. They LOVED it. I did change the side dishes, roasted some green beans and made a French gratin with potatoes, cream and gruyere cheese. I will make Chef Ange's veggies next time. I think it is adorable how Chef calls his potatoes "the starch" and the chicken "the protein." It reminds me of how people used to talk about food in the 1970s. But hey, give it up for Chef Ange.
Came here bc I JUST cooked this and was looking for calorie info for 1 thigh. I discovered the original recipe a few months ago and my hubby loved it! It has always had consistent results no matter the variations in thigh sizes, always crispy on the outside and juicy inside. (20 min flip, 20 min flip, 15 min. always works for me.) We eat it weekly. I had already mixed your spices in a spice jar and will now add the baking powder although it’s been quite crispy thus far.
Both vids are great, this is definitely more succinct but the 1st one is still valuable for people like me who don’t have an air fryer and want to cook the 2 sides simultaneously all in the oven and is the one in my cookbook. On a side note, Wow! marker 6:11 💪🏽
The use of a rack, flipping, reseasoning, increasing temp is all unique to many other vids I’ve watched which leave it on 1 temp and leave the chicken sitting in its juices no rack.
1 thing I do differently is I also sprinkle the seasoning under the skin as well so sometimes when the skin comes off all at once the chicken itself still has flavor.
Why would it come off all at once? Late night foraging grabbing one and eating it, no knife/fork. ☺️
Great recipe!
This video recently showed up in me feed. Being a lover of chicken thighs, I gave a watch. I ended up making the chicken and your honey mustard sauce (both were delicious, btw). Will try your potatoes and asparagus. Definitely will checkout your other videos. Liked and subscribed.
What is temperature and cooking time for regular oven? Looks delicious!
