Don't forget to cut below the bone and remove that last bit of cartilage. I swear it doesn't take long, 30 seconds per thigh.

If you'd like to get fancy, crush some fresh garlic, lemon zest and juice, and olives. Then spoon the mixture under the skin of each thigh. It was a Monday so I skipped this step :)

Set your oven to 400. Cooking times will vary. Check on it in a bit, then lower to 350 for a good while more until the inside of each thigh is 185. It will take less time than bone-in thighs.
