Choosing cheaper cuts of meat is one of the most basic ways to save money on groceries. A long time ago I began to buy boneless, skinless chicken thighs more than chicken breasts, mostly because the flavor is better, but thighs are also cheaper than breasts! If you buy chicken thighs that are bone-in and skin-on, though, you’ll save even more money. I recently saw bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs for $0.69 per lb! Even better, this recipe for crispy roasted chicken thighs is a family favorite!
One of my favorite bloggers/podcasters to follow is the Lazy Genius, who has a recipe she calls “Change Your Life” Chicken that is very similar, only she has great instructions for adding veggies with the chicken. I actually made it her way recently because of all the rave reviews and realized it’s essentially the same kind of idea, I just sear my chicken in the pan first.
Ingredients
- 8 chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on
- 1 tbsp. olive oil
- Salt and pepper
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Set out a 13x9 casserole dish or a large sheet pan and cover the bottom with foil. (This is optional, but it will make clean up weigh easier!)
- Peel back the skin on each chicken thigh and spread salt and pepper under the skin.
- Use a paper towel folded over to pat the skins dry. Then sprinkle more salt and pepper on top of the skin.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, place the chicken thighs skin-side down in the skillet and leave them for 3-4 minutes.
- Take the thighs out and place them on the pan/dish, skin side up.
- Place the pan in the oven and bake the thighs for 30-40 minutes, until the juice runs clean (or use a meat thermometer to check like I do!).
I like to serve this with sides that are quick and easy and don’t require the oven, like rice in the rice cooker and a frozen vegetable cooked in the microwave. My kids love these roasted chicken thighs so much—some don’t love the skin, but there’s always someone else willing to eat that crispy goodness. Another bonus is that these roasted chicken thighs are paleo-friendly, keto, and gluten-free!
You can also make this with different seasonings—try adding some spice with a bit of cayenne pepper, or add herbs like thyme or rosemary in addition to the salt and pepper.

I love late spring and early summer because I can send the kids outside to wear off energy (and keep the house a tad bit cleaner). Honestly we all need to spend more time outside, fresh air and sunshine are the top two things needed for sanity! No parent should feel the need to entertain their kids all day long, but sometimes coming up with something new or interesting to do can transform an afternoon. I’ve brainstormed a list of 75 things to do outside that, if nothing else, can serve as inspiration. The list contains ideas for water play, ways to engage with nature, and ideas of things that are usually inside activities but that might be even more fun outside! There’s also a printable at the end so that you can refer to it on days when everybody keeps saying they’re bored. Happy summer!
75 Things to Do Outside
1. Lay in a hammock
2. Play a board game
3. Read a book
4. Eat a picnic lunch
5. Have a tea party with stuffed animals
6. Do a big puzzle in the driveway
7. Listen to an audiobook
8. Color in coloring books
9. Paint a picture
