Ingredients

  • 4 chicken thighs
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons Italian Herbs
  • salt, pepper

Cauliflower Rice

  • 1 package cauliflower rice

Instructions

  • Salt chicken thighs and refrigerate for a few hours to overnight, if you have the time. If not, salt and season. Have chicken sit out for an hour, before baking.
  • Heat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Arrange chicken in large cast iron pan or baking dish so that chicken pieces are not touching.
  • Pour olive oil generously over each chicken thigh. Add more seasoning if needed.
  • Bake for 30 minutes. Check temperature. You want 190 degrees F. This will ensure crispy skin and all the tendons in the thighs will break down.
