Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 lb. boneless skinless chicken thighs
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt (or 1/2 teaspoon sea salt)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Place the chicken thighs in a large bowl. Add the olive oil and spices and use your hands to coat the chicken pieces.
  • Arrange the seasoned thighs in a single layer on a rimmed baking dish, such as a 9 X 13 baking dish. If there's some residual oil and spice mixture in the bowl, brush it on top of the chicken pieces, as shown in the video below.
  • Bake until cooked through, juices run clear, and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the middle of the largest thigh reads 165ºF. In my oven, this takes about 30 minutes.

BAKED CHICKEN THIGHS

How to make baked chicken thigh! My guide for making juicy and tender oven baked chicken thighs the old-fashioned way. Easy & healthy!

Categories     Dinner     Main Course

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 1/4 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 4)
3 garlic cloves (minced (about 1 tablespoon))
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (divided)
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 lemon (zest and juice)
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt (divided)
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper (divided)
2 small or 1 extra large onion
1/2 tablespoon sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
Chopped fresh parsley (or tarragon or thyme, plus additional for serving)

Steps:

  • Pat the chicken dry and place in a large bowl or large ziptop bag. Add the garlic, 2 tablespoons oil, Italian seasoning, rosemary, lemon zest and juice (zest the lemon right over the bag or bowl), 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Toss the chicken (or seal the bag and turn to coat). Let sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour or cover and refrigerate for up to 12 hours.
  • When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Thinly slice the onions and place in a 9x13 or similarly sized roasting pan or casserole dish.
  • Drizzle the onions with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Toss to coat.
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade and shake off any excess. Clear some spaces in the onions for the chicken, then nestle it in.
  • Bake the chicken thighs for 15 minutes. Remove the pan and toss the onions to promote even cooking (I use a fork to stir them around a bit). Return to the oven and bake for 10 to 20 additional minutes (that's 25 to 35 minutes total), until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 155 to 160 degrees F (chicken is considered cooked at 165 degrees F, but its temperature will continue to rise as it rests). If you'd like to brown the chicken skin further, at the end of the cooking time, place the pan under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes (watch closely!).
  • Remove the chicken to a serving plate. Cover and let rest 10 minutes. Stir the onions in the pan, spread them into an even layer, then return them to the oven to roast further while the chicken rests. The onions will become jammy and a few might look a little crispy.
  • Remove the onions from the oven, then stir the vinegar into them. If desired, return the chicken to the pan and place under the broiler for crispy skin.
  • Serve the chicken thighs warm, with onions spooned over the top. Sprinkle with fresh herbs.

4 chicken thighs

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken thighs: Look for bone-in, skinless chicken thighs that are about the same size so they cook evenly.
  • Season the chicken thighs liberally: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika to give the chicken thighs a flavorful crust.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F: This will help the chicken thighs cook quickly and evenly.
  • Place the chicken thighs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper: This will help prevent the chicken thighs from sticking to the pan and make cleanup easier.
  • Bake the chicken thighs for 25-30 minutes: Or until the chicken thighs are cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  • Let the chicken thighs rest for 5 minutes before serving: This will help the chicken thighs retain their juices and make them more tender.

Conclusion:

Baked bone-in, skinless chicken thighs are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are a great source of protein and can be served with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
