...any suggestions, ideas???
Best on the grill, but since it's cold here, I made them in the oven on Sunday for my girlfriend and I to enjoy during the Giants/Packard game.
So if you're using the oven, cook them at 250 degrees for about three hours. They came out really well. And very, very easy.
By the way, here are some other chicken thigh recipes that sound interesting, although I haven't made them so can't vouch for them: http://allrecipes.com/recipes/meat-and-poultry/chicken/chicken-thighs/
This is ridiculously easy and yummy:

Make a side of pasta, caesar salad out of the bag and 5-minute texas garlic toast in the oven and you’re good to go.
Does your favorite recipe have you bake the crust somewhat before you add the topping and bake some more?

PopEye’s spicy fried chicken rocks! The regular is excellent too, but DH and I love the spicy. We have to drive 20 miles to get there, but it is well worth it.
Had Chicken Keiv last night. It was easy; let me know if you want the recipe, I can send it later. Basically a flattened chicken breast wrapped around a herb butter and then coated and deep fried.

Mix up 2 cans of Golden Mushroom soup w/ 1 can water.
Pour over chicken/onions.
Cover dish w/ aluminum foil and bake at 350 for an hour.

Most excellent.
World’s Best Roast Chicken
1 (4 to 5-pound) roasting chicken
1 to 2 large yellow onion, sliced
Good olive oil
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 lemons, quartered
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
6 cups (3/4-inch) bread cubes (1 baguette or round boule)
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
Take the giblets out of the chicken and wash it inside and out. Remove any excess fat and leftover pinfeathers. Toss the onion with a little olive oil in a small roasting pan.
Place the chicken on top of onions and sprinkle the inside of the cavity with salt and pepper. Place the lemons inside the chicken. Pat the outside of the chicken dry with paper towels, brush it with the melted butter, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Roast for 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours, or until the juices run clear when you cut between the leg and the thigh. Cover with foil and allow to sit at room temperature for 15 minutes. (The onions may burn, but the flavor is good.)
Meanwhile, heat a large saute pan with 2 tablespoons of olive oil until very hot. Lower the heat to medium-low and saute the bread cubes, tossing frequently, until nicely browned, 8 to
10 minutes. Add more olive oil, as needed, and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Place the croutons on a serving platter. Slice the chicken and place it, plus all the pan juices, over the croutons. Sprinkle with salt and serve warm. Unbelievably tasty!

The best crust I found comes from rolling it out nice and thin, preparing on the pizza sheet and then letting rise again in 100 degree oven. Half hour or so, but not cooking it as you say. Just let it rise a bit. Then put all your stuff on and bake. Comes out like french bread crust.. marvelous.
Good chicken, excellent sides and biscuits to die for. And I know they make the biscuits fresh because I used to sell them their buttermilk.
