BEST BAKED CHICKEN THIGHS
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs (6-88 thighs)
1 tablespoon avocado oil
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon cumin (or smoked paprika)
1 teaspoon Kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
Preheat oven to 425ºF and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

Remove the chicken from the fridge at least twenty minutes before baking.
Using a sharp knife, carefully trim and excess fat off of the chicken thighs and pat them dry with a paper towel.

In a small bowl combine garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, cumin, salt, and pepper.

Place chicken thighs in a large bowl, drizzle with avocado oil, and sprinkle with spice mixture.

Use your hands to mix the spices into the chicken and then transfer the chicken onto the prepared baking sheet.

Bake for 20 minutes or until the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165ºF.

Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes so the juices can redistribute and enjoy.

Happy Friday! Today I am sharing a kitchen basic and showing you how to make baked and stovetop, skinless + boneless chicken thighs. These are great for busy weeknights and super family-friendly. Enjoy!

OMG... This is truly the "Best Baked Chicken Thighs" I have found, even my roommate that has trouble eating right now is (because of dental issues) was able to eat these!... He had three of them and gave me a big hug. I served them with buttery Mash potatoes and fresh fruit (watermelon). It was a hit... more like a home run.

I love how thorough, yet to-the-point you are in presenting the ingredients, steps and different methods. Looks simple and delicious. Thanks🤗

[mysonruns]

I defrosted bonless thighs for dinner. I wasn't sure how I wanted to make them. Went on a search & your recipe came up! I made the first one you showed. They were great! Thank You!

[DadsDishes]

Glad you mentioned avocado oil - that's a better choice for this recipe when using oven because olive oil can denature over 400F. Once it denatures it loses health benefits. Thanks for showing two methods

Thank You so much for this videos! My family loves chicken thighs & I'm always looking for new ways to cook them. Can you believe I was checking out at the grocery store & the lady ringing me up says" Why are you buying thighs? Breasts would be healthier for you" I simply replied " My family loves them" The audacity of some people!

[sandrachamberlain]

The best baked chicken thighs I have ever eaten. So moist & yummy! This will definitely be my go to recipe. Thank you so much!

Thank you. My son is coming for a visit and uses chicken thighs on his salad. I am a vegetarian and I have not cooked chicken in many years. He will be very happy with mama.

I have an immense amount of cookware from my great great grandmother which includes cast iron skillets of all sizes, from the 1800's, old kitchenware lasts a lifetime. liked your video!

[jillpowell]

I am so happy I found this channel and this recipe. I had to change the ingredients a bit because I didn't have them all. I used onion powder, garlic powder, curry, salt, pepper. It turned out amazing. One of the best things I have made. I'm just starting to get comfortable cooking so this was awesome. Now my kiddo wants me to make it again. Can't wait to try more.

[superpoo]

Ok, I usually do not write comments. BUT I just had the first bite of this and OMG it is delicious!!! I will not make chicken in any other way!! Thank you for the recipe!!

[Heavenwalk]

I’m so happy that this video is translated to Arabic, it is my native language. Now I can watch your videos with my mom who is a non-English speaker. So grateful for you ♥️
Love and greetings from Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦♥️

I was always mixing the oil and spices together then marinating chicken in it. I’ll try it this way!

[juliek]

Thank you! I've made about 8 of your recipes and always get so many compliments! I've told everyone about your page! We all made so much of your immune boosting chicken soup with Serrano pepper this past winter. Your recipes are absolutely delicious and healthy...thanks for turning me into quite the chef! 😂

Actually plastic cutting boards will hold onto more bacteria after cleaning than wood ones; the wood has a natural process that will help sterilize any leftover bacteria upon cleaning. The recipe sounds absolutely delicious though! I also appreciate your incorporation of avacados oil and organic ingrediants 👍

[BethAMcHugh]
