For extra crispy skin, consider placing the chicken thighs on a wire rack set inside the baking dish. Feel free to experiment with your favorite spice blends. Italian seasoning, chili powder, or a lemon-pepper blend would all be delicious. If you don't have onion flakes, you can substitute onion powder, but use half the amount. For easier cleanup, line the baking dish with aluminum foil.
