These are crispy and juicy make for the perfect weeknight meal! This chicken recipe is much healthier than traditional fried chicken – you’ll love it. We honor LGBT Hero Edith "Edie" Windsor with this, be sure to read about her.
Oven “fried” chicken CAN be crispy! Try this for some “down home” goodness. This can be modified easily for the best crispy wings you'll ever make.
Ingredients:
4 chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on
2 Tbs olive oil
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp onion powder
1 ½ tsp paprika
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
1tsp salt + 1 Tbs baking powder
Directions:
Stir 1 tsp salt and1 tsp baking powder together in a large bowl. Add the chicken wings and toss well to coat. Cover and chill the wings for 2 hours, but not much longer.
Remove thighs and rinse, then pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Let sit to come to room temperature.
Preheat your oven to 425F. A higher temperature makes the skin extra crispy.
Line a rimed baking sheet with foil and spray a cooking rack well for the chicken.
In a small bowl mix all of the herbs and spices together. When oven comes to temperature, line a rimed baking sheet with foil and spray a rack to sit the chicken on. A rack on top of a baking sheet allows the air to circulate around the chicken making it crispier.
Add oil to a wide mouthed bowl and dip each piece in on both sides to coat the piece. Place on the rack leave even space between each piece.
Sprinkle the spice mix on top of the chicken.
Bake the chicken thighs for 35-40 minutes or until the internal temp. reaches 160 degrees. You can also turn on the top broiler for 2-3 minutes to make the top extra crispy. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Here I roasted some fresh green beans on a lower rack for 20 minutes.
While the chicken rested, I fixed some mashed potatoes.
What a much healthier way to get crisp chicken.

Edith "Edie" Windsor
Edie was an American LGBT rights activist and a technology manager at IBM. She was the lead plaintiff in the 2013 Supreme Court of the United States case United States v. Windsor, which overturned Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act and was considered a landmark legal victory for the same-sex marriage movement in the United States. The Obama Administration and federal agencies extended rights, privileges, and benefits to married same-sex couples because of the decision.
Windsor was born in Philadelphia, to James and Celia Schlain, a Russian Jewish immigrant family of modest means. She was the youngest of three children. Throughout school, she dated boys her age, but said later she recalls having crushes on girls.
Windsor received her bachelor's degree in 1950, and a master's degree in mathematics, in 1957. She then joined IBM.
Career
Windsor began her career at IBM as a mainframe programmer. In 1968, she became a Senior Systems Programmer. Windsor worked at IBM for 16 years and was well-known around IBM for her "top-notch debugging skills." She received the first IBM PC delivered in New York City. However, the company rejected her insurance form naming her partner Thea Spyer as a beneficiary.
In 1975, Windsor left IBM and became the founding president of PC classics, a consulting firm specializing in software development projects. During this time consulting, Windsor helped many LGBTQ groups become "tech literate." She helped many LGBTQ organizations computerize their mail systems.
Personal life
Saul Windsor was Edie's older brother's best friend. They went to college together and during their third year, Saul proposed marriage and Edie accepted. Their relationship ended at one time during the engagement when Windsor fell in love with a female classmate. However, after Windsor decided she did not want to live as a lesbian, they reconciled and got married after graduation, in May 1951. They divorced less than one year afterward, and she confided in him that she longed to be with women. Shortly after her divorce, Windsor left Philadelphia for New York City.
Windsor met Thea Spyer, an Amsterdam-born psychologist, in 1963. When they initially met, each was already in a relationship. They occasionally saw each other at events over the next two years, but it was not until a trip to the East End of Long Island in 1965 that they began dating.
To help keep the relationship a secret from her co-workers, Windsor invented a relationship with Spyer's fictional brother Willy— who was a childhood doll belonging to Windsor. In 1967, Spyer asked Windsor to marry, although it was not yet legal anywhere in the United States. Fearing that a traditional engagement ring might expose Windsor's sexual orientation to her coworkers, Spyer instead proposed with a circular diamond pin.
Six months after getting engaged, Windsor and Spyer moved into an apartment in Greenwich Village. In 1968, they purchased a small house on Long Island together, where they went on vacation for the following forty summers. The couple often took trips both in the United States and internationally.
In June 1969, Windsor and Spyer returned from a vacation in Italy to discover the Stonewall Riots had begun the night before. In the following years, the couple publicly participated in LGBT marches and events. They also lent their Cadillac convertible to LGBT rights organizations.
She volunteered for the Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders, the East End Gay Organization, and helped found Old Queers Acting Up. She served on the board of Services & Advocacy for GLBT Elders (SAGE) from 1986 to 1988 and again from 2005 to 2007.
In 1977, Spyer was diagnosed with progressive multiple sclerosis. The disease caused a gradual, but ever-increasing paralysis. Windsor used her early retirement to become a full-time caregiver for Spyer.
Windsor and Spyer entered a domestic partnership in New York City in 1993. Registering on the first available day, they were issued certificate number eighty.
Spyer suffered a heart attack in 2002 and was diagnosed with aortic stenosis. In 2007, her doctors told her she had less than a year to live. New York had not yet legalized same-sex marriage, so the couple opted to marry in Toronto, Canada, on May 22, 2007, with Canada's first openly gay judge, Justice Harvey Brownstone, presiding.
An announcement of their wedding was published in the New York Times. Every night before Spyer got into bed, Windsor put an oxygen mask on her, the last step in a two-hour process that enabled her to sleep. “But I was never her nurse—I’m her lover!” Windsor said. “I was just doing things to make her comfortable. And that was with loving her and digging her.”
She was by Spyer’s side when she died, at home in bed, in 2009. After Spyer's death, Windsor was hospitalized with stress cardiomyopathy.
Windsor became the executor and sole beneficiary of Spyer's estate, via a revocable trust. Windsor was required to pay $363,053 in federal estate taxes on her inheritance of her wife's estate. Had federal law recognized the validity of their marriage, Windsor would have qualified for an unlimited spousal deduction and paid no federal estate taxes.
Windsor sought to claim the federal estate tax exemption for surviving spouses. She was barred from doing so by Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). The Internal Revenue Service found that the exemption did not apply to same-sex marriages, denied Windsor's claim, and compelled her to pay.
In 2010 Windsor filed a lawsuit against the federal government in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, seeking a refund because DOMA singled out legally married same-sex couples for "differential treatment compared to other similarly situated couples without justification." In 2012, Judge Barbara S. Jones ruled that Section 3 of DOMA was unconstitutional under the due process guarantees of the Fifth Amendment and ordered the federal government to issue the tax refund, including interest. The U.S. Second Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed in a 2–1 decision later in 2012.
The U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the case on March 2013, and in June of that year issued a 5–4 decision affirming that Section 3 of DOMA was unconstitutional "as a deprivation of the liberty of the person protected by the Fifth Amendment."
It would be just two more years before the Supreme Court declared same-sex marriage legal nationwide.
In September 2016, Windsor married Judith Kasen at New York City Hall. At the time of the wedding, Windsor was age 87 and Kasen was age 51.
Just slightly less than a year later, Windsor's wife Judith Kasen-Windsor confirmed that Windsor had died in Manhattan, but did not specify a cause. She was 88.
Next month, Windsor's memoir A Wild and Precious Life will be published by St. Martin's Press.
“If you have to outlive a great love,” Windsor said, “I can’t think of a better way to do it than being everybody’s hero.”
