Hi, welcome to solsarin site, in this post we want to talk about“oven baked boneless chicken thighs”,
stay with us.
There are a lot of Oven Baked Chicken Thighs recipes out there on the internet. I’ve added my recipe to the list because it is an easy, non-complicated, fuss-free meal bursting with flavor. And don’t even get me started on the crispy skin!
Chicken thighs are dark meat that is naturally more flavorful than other pieces such as the breast. When you add my simple spice blend before baking, these are off the charts delicious.
The skin is perfectly crisp, while the meat is juicy and tender. This recipe is versatile because it is a basic chicken recipe that goes well with just about any side dish. You can even increase the spice for this recipe by adding a pinch of chili powder and cayenne.
No, baking frozen chicken thighs is not recommended, as they do not cook evenly. Some parts will be dry by the time everything cooks through. Thaw your chicken thighs before baking.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and prepare a 9×13-inch baking dish with a light coating of cooking spray.
My go-to sides for Baked Boneless Chicken Thighs are steamed rice or Roasted Red Potatoes. The potatoes roast at the same temperature for about 10 minutes longer than the chicken, so I just put them in first on the top rack, then slide the chicken in on the bottom rack. The potatoes need to be flipped about halfway through, so at that point, I rotate the pans (not a necessity, but that’s what I do).
I love my air fryer because I can make Air Fryer Broccoli or Air Fryer Tater Tots while the chicken is roasting in the oven.
Other side dishes I often serve with this recipe include Cheesy Mashed Potatoes, Sauteed Mushrooms, Wedge Salad with Thousand Island Dressing, and Garlic Green Beans.
With boneless chicken thighs, there’s a bit less preparation needed. Just coat the chicken in the spice rub, add to the baking sheet with the tops facing up as pictured below. Bake for 12 minutes, then flip and cook another 8 minutes. Let your thighs rest for 5 minutes then you are ready to go!
Because boneless, skinless thighs emit less fat and juices, you can cook your veggies on the same sheet pan as the chicken. I suggest a blend of broccoli, zucchini and sliced carrots. They can be stirred just once when you go to flip the chicken over.
Bone-in chicken thighs require slightly more work but not by much! You’ll want to pat the skin dry on the thighs then coat in the spice rub just like you do with boneless thighs. This time, you will place the thighs SKIN DOWN and bake uninterrupted for 25 minutes.
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.
