Just toss the chicken in olive oil and seasonings and bake- that's all there is to it! Grab your measuring spoons, a large mixing bowl, a large baking dish, and a meat thermometer to get started.

2 pounds of chicken thighs is usually about 6 thighs or 6 servings. They freeze well, and you can use the leftovers for lunches and dinners the following days!

  1. Preheat. Preheat your oven to 400°F(205°C).
  2. Season the chicken. Add 2 pounds of chicken thighs to a large mixing bowl, followed by 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 ½ tablespoons of all-purpose seasoning, and salt to taste. Mix with your hands until all of the chicken is evenly coated.
  3. Bake. Arrange the chicken thighs in a single layer inside a large baking dish. Bake at 400°F(205°C)for 25 minutes or until the internal temperature of the largest chicken thighs reads 165°F(74°C)when checked with a meat thermometer.
  4. Rest. Remove the chicken thighs from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Pair your juicy chicken thighs with some sauteed green beans and yellow mashed potatoes for an easy chicken dinner. Or, you can add it to chicken soup or any of your favorite chicken casseroles! Enjoy!

💭 Tips & Notes

  • If there's any leftover oil and seasoning in the mixing bowl, I like to brush the remainder over the top of the chicken thighs before baking.
  • It is pretty typical to get some large and some small chicken thighs in a package. It's perfectly fine to leave the small thighs in the oven until the large thighs are cooked through. They still turn out juicy and flavorful!
  • You can try this recipe with your favorite seasoning blends. I've triedchicken seasoning,Cajun seasoning,andfajita seasoning, all with delicious results!

❓ FAQ

Can I Marinate Boneless Chicken Thighs Before Baking?

Yes, marinating boneless chicken thighs before baking can be a great way to infuse the meat with flavor and moisture. Take a look at my favorite chicken marinades and find a flavor that suits your needs!

Can I Bake Frozen Chicken Thighs?

You can, but because they take longer to cook, they tend to dry out. It's best to thaw them completely before baking to ensure even cooking and to avoid dry chicken thighs.

How Do I Know When My Baked Boneless Chicken Thighs Are Done?

The best way to tell if boneless chicken thighs are ready is to use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The meat should reach a minimum temperature of 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the meat. If you don't have a meat thermometer, slice into the thickest chicken thigh and check for any pinkness.
