Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Place the thighs on a large baking sheet with 1" sides.

Step 2

Use your fingers to gently pull the skin up from each thigh, creating a small pocket. Gently slide 1 piece under the skin of each thigh. (Eat any leftovers with crackers.)

Step 3

Drizzle the tops of the thighs with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt, pepper and parsley.

Step 4

Bake the chicken thighs for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a thermometer reads 160°F in the meatiest part of the largest thigh. The cheese should start to ooze, and the skin should be golden brown and crispy.

Step 5

Let the thighs rest for 10 minutes before serving.
