BEST BAKED CHICKEN THIGHS

Grandma’s house was always my favorite place to go when I was little. It was so comforting and inviting, I could have spent every day there and never went home. Of course, I had to go home to my loving parents once in a while, but anytime I got the green light to go to Grandma’s, I was on my bike and headed that way. She always stuffed us full with cookies, cakes, pies, and whatever else she had freshly baked. She made up the most delicious dinners too. Those we only got once in a while.

If Mom and Dad weren’t going to be home for supper, we got to eat there. She made a sheet pan dinner a lot like this one from The Pioneer Woman. It was by far my most-loved dish that she made.

Whenever this was in the oven, I would come up with every excuse I could think of to stay over there and eat. Mom usually didn’t mind too much, and Grandma loved to have us there, so usually it worked!
