Recipe with Chicken Thighs – Spiced Roasted Chicken Thighs
Here is a great rub that works perfectly in the oven as well as the grill. If you have left over rub, simply store it in a covered container in a cool place. Here is what you will need for this:
Serves six
12 chicken thighs
1 TBS salt
1 tsp. black pepper
1 TBS ground cumin
1 tsp. cinnamon
½ tsp. ground cloves
1 tsp. allspice
1 tsp. cayenne
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Oil a roasting rack inside a roasting pan.
Add all the spices into a bowl and mix well.
Place the thighs on the rack. Sprinkle them generously on both sides, leaving them skin side down.
Place the roasting pan in the oven and cook – skin side down – for about 20 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and reduce the heat to 375 degrees. Flip the chicken and cook for an extra 25 minutes, or until a meat thermometer registers 175 degrees when inserted close to the bone. Make sure the chicken is cooked through but are not dried. Serve and enjoy.

These are awesome–tried them tonight (with about half the listed cayenne) and they were a hit. We’ll definitely be making these again. Thanks so much for all your wonderful recipes and videos.
Hi Martin!
Yes, you can. I like keeping the skin on in order to keep the meat tender. I remove them before serving. However, if you prefer not to have them at all – go right ahead! Thanks for stopping by!
