Today was the day to make Muffin Pan Chicken here. After watching what feels like 80 hours of YouTube videos of Competition Chicken & our local Walmart not being sold out of Chicken Thighs I made a run at cooking up a batch. I got a great flavor profile but the skin came out very tough. I don't know why. More research making smaller batches is needed I guess. They were melt in your mouth tender, flavor all the way thru, but tough skin. The Baked Mac & Cheese was certainly on time. Everyone liked the Thighs, I was surprised how they shrunk up too.
The Skin was plenty moist, just chewy. Too tough to bite thru with a bite of chicken. Several of the videos I watched the skins were peeled back, the fat scraped off the underside with a knife, then a pat of butter placed on the flesh under the skin before it was folded back over.
