This has become my go to bone-in, skin on chicken thighs recipe for a lovely weekend dinner or when you have over 2 hours to cook. The tenderness of the chicken cannot be matched and the wonderful crispiness of the skin cannot be over emphasized. Whenever I make this chicken, we are in heaven especially when I add the stuffing that tastes-like-it-was-in-the-bird side.
