Life can be chaotic, and right now, ours is no exception. My partner, Mark, is the head coach for a high school lacrosse team, which means that some evenings he doesn’t get home until well past 10:00 p.m. This makes preparing a family dinner quite the juggle. I’ve been experimenting with meals that are not only enjoyable for the kids and me but also reheat beautifully for Mark to enjoy later. On nights when he returns a bit earlier, I’ll serve the kids first, and then we’ll have our dinner together—though “together” often means I’m in the living room while he’s down in his man cave. Not exactly the romantic candlelit dinners you might imagine! But hey, it works for us.
One dish that has become a staple in our household is this easy, crispy oven-fried chicken thighs recipe. It pairs wonderfully with creamy buttered mashed potatoes and steamed corn—trust me, it’s a real crowd-pleaser.
Ingredients:
- 4 chicken thighs, bone-in and skin on
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1/4 teaspoon finely ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F.
- Arrange the chicken thighs on a baking sheet and drizzle them generously with olive oil.
- Season each thigh with garlic salt, pepper, and parsley.
