These chicken thighs come out crispy on the outside and amazingly tender and juicy on the inside. Baked chicken thighs are so easy to make with only a few ingredients and one pan! One of the questions I get asked most often is how to cook chicken thighs. They’re so easy to make, and this has become one of my most popular recipes! How long do I cook chicken thighs in the oven and at what temperature? How do I cook chicken thighs in a pan but make sure they turn out crispy on the outside?
Should I use boneless skinless chicken thighs are bone in with skin? I think people love the thigh meat because it’s super flavorful, but they just aren’t as familiar with cooking them as they are the breast meat. Luckily, it’s an incredibly easy process that takes only a few minutes of prep and then the thighs bake up to crispy tender perfection on a sheet pan. And, I am here to answer those questions for you today with my favorite baked chicken thigh recipe ever, plus a quick video that shows just how I make them!
The natural moisture from the chicken can prevent getting a really good sear. These thighs basically sear right in the oven, so this is an important but quick step to take. How long and at what temperature should you bake the thighs? You’ll want to bake these at 400 degrees for 35-45 minutes without moving or turning them during the process. This temperature and time ensure that crispy outside and juicy inside we’re looking for.
The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees before being consumed. The chicken will produce some of its tasty natural juices, and you don’t want those running off the pan into your oven! I use bone in and skin on chicken thighs for this recipe. I find that it produces the best results. However, if you have boneless skinless on hand or that is just your preference, they work just fine with this recipe as well! They may take about 10 minutes less to cook, so just keep an eye on them. I hope you guys enjoy this simple chicken recipe as much as my family does!
