“Arugula was on sale and I wanted to find new ways to use it. This became a quick favorite. I've found that there's no need to preheat the oven; a little longer cooking time produces a juicy thigh with crispy skin.” - by Christina

Directions

  1. Stuff spinach leaves, arugula, and garlic under the skin of the chicken thigh and place on a baking dish. Sprinkle with seasoned salt.
  2. Bake chicken thigh in the oven set at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 50 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

"I really enjoyed this chicken! Hubby is traveling, so I was looking for smaller portion recipes. I made two chicken thighs and wow, very impressive! You can really stuff a lot under the skin, so don'..." See moret be afraid of the amounts! I think next time I might rub some seasoned salt under the skin and all over the chicken. 1/4 tsp was a bit much for my taste for just sprinkling on the top. This would make a nice meal for company, since it looks impressive but takes very little effort. Thanks for the great recipe!"
