Crispy Chicken Thighs

I have missed that cripsy, fried chicken since going gluten free.  Granted, I rarely ever had fried foods but when you can’t have them anymore unless you make them yourself…you suddenly start to miss things.  Like dairy for instance, I’m on a limited dairy diet, and I miss it.

Really, I could use a huge glass of milk.

Back to the chicken, can you tell I’m day dreaming?

This recipe started off as an adaption of Cooking Light Chicken Piccata.  The main adaption I made from the original recipe was to use chicken thighs instead of chicken breast; however, this increased my cook time so one adaption lead to another and then I ended up with a completely different recipe!

The chicken though turned out so crispy and delicious that I just had to share it with all of you.  Essentially, you could make this with any part of the chicken; however, I think the skin on thighs give it more of that juicy, crispy taste.

This is perfect for Sunday dinner or today’s!

Enjoy!
