Baked Chicken Thighs
Whenever I need to whip up a quick family-friendly dinner, I make baked chicken thighs. I usually marinate them the night before for extra flavor, which is also perfect for those busy weeknights. Just take them out of the fridge and pop them in the oven! I usually serve it with rice, beans, and a big salad, and I have a very happy family. If you want to make them in the air fryer, check out my air fryer chicken thighs recipe.
Chicken Thigh Ingredients
Skin-On Chicken Thighs: Buy bone-in chicken thighs with the skin on. Chicken Thigh Marinade: Italian dressing is one of the easiest chicken marinades since it’s packed with so much flavor. Seasoning: Salt, garlic powder, dried or fresh oregano Sazon: Use store-bought or homemade sazon, which consists of coriander, achiote, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Adobo Seasoning is a mix of Latin spices, including onion and garlic powders, salt, pepper, and others.
How to Bake Chicken Thighs
Variations
Chicken: Use skin-on chicken breasts or drumsticks in place of thighs. To make leaner, remove the skin. If using boneless skinless chicken thighs, I would broil instead of bake. Seasoning: add paprika, black pepper, onion powder, etc
Side Dish Suggestions
Black Beans and Rice with cabbage slaw. Vegetables: Roasted Asparagus, Roasted Broccoli, Roasted Parmesan Green Beans Starchy Sides: Roasted Sweet Potatoes, Avocado Quinoa Salad
Storage Tips
Store leftover chicken in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to four days, and reheat them in the microwave until warm.
