Most people prefer juicy thigh meat because they are full of flavor, but may not be familiar with how to bake them in the oven. Searing thighs in a skillet is normally the easiest and most popular option, however, thighs are just as easy roasting or baking.
Chicken thighs produce delicious natural pan juices that blend into the sauce while baking. You only need a few minutes of prep time to have juicy tender baked chicken thighs.
Let the oven do the work for you!
Should I use boneless skinless chicken thighs or bone-in with skin? I use boneless skinless chicken thighs for this recipe because they yield the best results. However, you can use bone-in skin-on thighs if you have those on hand. They work just as well with this recipe but will take about 10 minutes more to cook. Keep an eye on them.
