Baked Chicken Thighs

This recipe for the Perfect Baked Chicken Thighs shows you how to cook juicy chicken, whether you’re using boneless or bone-in chicken thighs.

Before we get started, I thought I would go over the secrets to getting your chicken thighs just right! These tips apply to both boneless, skinless and bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs. Keep reading to see more specific instructions on the differences between the two, or to get cooking!

What to serve with baked chicken thighs

These juicy, tender chicken thighs would be delicious served with a healthy salad, rice, your favourite vegetables, roasted potatoes or even a simple pasta dish.

In the last 10 minutes of cook time, I usually add a blend of mixed vegetables to the baking sheet. In this case, I used broccoli, sliced carrots and zucchini. Toss the veggies with about 1 tsp of olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

The veggies can be roasted for 10-20 minutes depending on how crisp you like your veggies. Sometimes it’s easier to just throw them on the pan with the thighs and stir halfway through, but if you like them less cooked I would recommend adding them during the last 10 minutes of cook time.
