Bone

A bone is a rigid organ^[1] that constitutes part of the skeleton in most vertebrate animals. Bones protect the various other organs of the body, produce red and white blood cells, store minerals, provide structure and support for the body, and enable mobility. Bones come in a variety of shapes and sizes and have a complex internal and external structure.^[2] They are lightweight yet strong and hard, and serve multiple functions

Apart from being a super quick and easy to make chicken thigh recipe, what you’ll love the most is the crispy, golden crust. ON skinless chicken thighs? YES!

Searing them in garlic and onion powders normally leaves burnt bits on your chicken

INGREDIENTS

For The Chicken:

1 1/2pounds (700g) boneless skinless chicken thighs, (around 6-8 fillets)
1teaspoon each onion powder and garlic powder
1/2teaspoon each of dried thyme and rosemary, (optional)
1/2teaspoon salt
1/4teaspoon cracked black pepper
a pinch of cayenne pepper,or to taste
1tablespoon olive oil, for cooking

For The Sauce:

2tablespoons butter
4cloves garlic, minced (or 1 tablespoon minced garlic)
1/4cup dry white wine, (optional)
1/2cup chicken broth (or chicken stock

INSTRUCTIONS

Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towel and trim off excess fat. Combine the onion powder, garlic powder, dried herbs, salt and pepper/s. Coat the chicken evenly with the combined seasoning.
Heat oil a large pan or skillet over medium heat and sear chicken for 5 minutes until golden and crispy. Flip and cook for a further 2 minutes. Move chicken to the sides of the pan and add butter to the middle. Let melt, then add the garlic into the butter. Sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Increase heat to medium-high. Add the wine and chicken broth (or stock). Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with the end of a wooden spoon. Stir chicken around; let liquid simmer until reduced to half, about 2 minutes.
When chicken is cooked through, remove from heat. Taste test and season with extra salt and pepper, if needed. Serve immediately with fresh, chopped parsley or herbs of your choice, if desired
Can I use chicken breasts in this recipe?
I don’t recommend it. Chicken breasts are drier than thighs. They’re also typically larger and thicker. They require a different cooking temperature and a different cooking time
How do you cook boneless chicken without drying it out?
It’s best to choose thighs over other parts. They’re very juicy and won’t dry out easily
What if I don’t like spicy food?
That’s an easy fix! Simply omit the cayenne pepper – that’s the sole ingredient responsible for the level of heat in this recipe. The dish will still be excellent without it – it just won’t be spicy

How long to bake boneless chicken thighs

One of things that’s so great about boneless chicken thighs is that they don’t dry out if you want to bake, broil, grill or roast them.

NOTES

Make ahead: Marinate the chicken overnight in the mustard mixture and simply pop in the oven when you’re ready to cook dinner.
Freeze the unbaked chicken in a freezer-safe bag. Thaw overnight in the fridge and bake.
Substitute fresh thyme with another fresh aromatic herb like rosemary or oregano. Dried herbs will work too, just reduce the amount by half.

Cooking Tips

It is a good thing that cooking with Chicken thigh is very forgiving. Unlike Chicken breast, thighs don’t get rubbery and dry if cooked for a little longer.

To get the best out of skinless boneless chicken thighs, cook it right.

A mix of butter and oil works always better. Butter gives the richness to the sauce and oil prevents the butter from burning.
I love garlic and always go a little overboard with it. It adds flavour to the pan sauce.
Chicken and rosemary is a fantastic combination. It gives a freshness to the dish. You can substitute it with thyme or parsley if you prefer.

TIPS FOR MAKING THE BEST BONELESS CHICKEN THIGHS

The cooking process only takes about 9-10 minutes. You should be able to fit about 8 or even 10 chicken thighs on a large (12 inch) skillet. The seasonings in this boneless chicken thigh recipe are simple yet very flavorful, and make for an amazing thicken thigh marinade. If you have the time to marinate – do it! It’s generally advisable that chicken thighs are marinated in a fridge for at least 30 minutes – this will let them get properly infused with salt and flavors.

Thirty minutes is enough, but if you must keep them in the fridge longer, that will not be a problem at all. Actually, I find that the longer I marinate, within the reason of course, the better. Sometimes, when we are in a rush, we skip marination altogether – these chicken thighs still taste great, though, perhaps, come out just a tad less flavorful.

Cook to internal temperature of 165 F. While I generally like cooking chicken thighs to 185F, like my Roasted Honey Mustard Chicken Thighs or Killer Marinated Chicken Thighs, skinless and boneless chicken thighs don’t have the skin, and the skin fat protection and tend to dry out by the time the temperature gets that high. So, we always cook skinless thighs to 165F.

How to Make Asian Boneless Baked Chicken Thighs:

Add all of the ingredients for the marinade (everything but the chicken) to a small bowl and whisk until well-combined.

Place chicken thighs in a zip lock bag or a small container along with the marinade, seal it, and slosh it around until the chicken is coated in marinade. Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, ideally several hours (up to 24 hours).

When you’re ready to bake the chicken, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Transfer the chicken thighs, including the marinade to a large casserole dish.

Bake the chicken thighs on one of the rack that’s close to the heat element (I do 3rd rack from the top) for 20 minutes, or until it is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

The best way to make sure the chicken is fully cooked, and to avoid over cooking it, use a meat thermometer to test the internal temperature of the chicken.

If you’d like the chicken to have the glazed, caramelized effect, remove the chicken from the oven then baste it using the drippings in the pan with a spoon (or baster if you have one).

Place the chicken back in the oven and change it to the High Broil setting. Broil for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the chicken is deeply golden-brown. If you’re using bone-in thighs, the cooking time will be slightly longer in order to get crispy skin.

Serve the baked chicken thighs with your favorite side dishes, and enjoy!

Store any leftover chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

How to Get Crispy Chicken Skinless Thighs:

While boneless skinless chicken thighs don’t have skin to get that yummy crisp, they can still turn out crispy!

To do so, use the High Broil setting on your oven to broil them for 3 to 8 minutes, or until they are crispy. Be sure to place them on a shelf that is near the top, but not all the way at the top. I go with the third shelf down.

Keep a close watch on the thighs, as the high broil setting is very hot and it is easy for food to burn when left unattended.
