Baked Chicken Recipe
Ingredients:
4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (or breasts)
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp onion powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp dried thyme
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Pat the chicken dry with paper towels to ensure a crispy skin.
In a bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper.
Rub the seasoning mixture generously over the chicken, making sure it’s well-coated.
Place the chicken on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the skin is perfectly crispy.
Crispy French Fries Recipe
Ingredients:
4 large russet potatoes, peeled and cut into fries
3 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Soak the sliced potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch, then drain and pat them dry.
In a large bowl, toss the fries with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the fries in a single layer on the baking sheet.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
Helpful Tips for Perfection
Use a wire rack over the baking sheet to get that extra crispy chicken skin.
Double bake your fries by reducing the temperature to 350°F for an additional 5-7 minutes for extra crunch.
Serve with your favorite dipping sauces like ranch or BBQ for an added burst of flavor.
