BAKED CHICKEN THIGHS

• Bake uncovered for 30-40 minutes or until thermometer reads at least 165 degrees F, skin starts to brown and lots of juices accumulate in the dish.
• Using a syringe/baster, pour juice over the thighs and then if you like more crispy skin (who doesn't?!) broil to your likeness.

BAKED CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400° F. Set out a 13x9-inch or similar baking dish or line a rimmed baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the seasonings until well combined.
• Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and place them in the baking dish.
• Rub both sides of the chicken with olive oil. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the chicken, rubbing it on both sides of the chicken thighs. Try to rub some of the rub underneath the skin as well as on top of the skin for the most flavorful chicken. Arrange the chicken thighs skin side up on the pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven, without moving or turning, until the internal temperature of the thickest part of the chicken (not touching the bone) reaches at least 165° F. This will take about 30-40 minutes, depending on the size of your chicken thighs.
• If desired, you can broil the chicken for a few minutes to get the skin extra crispy. Be sure to use a broiler-safe baking dish/pan and do not put parchment paper under the broiler.

CHICKEN THIGH RECIPES (5 STAR RATED!)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425F/210C. Season your chicken thigh fillets with salt and pepper and set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, brown sugar and garlic. Transfer the mixture into a large ziplock bag, then add the chicken thighs to them and toss until combined.
• Let the chicken marinate for at least 10 minutes.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade and place them on a large baking sheet lined with tinfoil.
• Bake for 20 minutes, before switching the oven to the broil setting so the sauce on top slightly thickens.

BAKED CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Pat the chicken dry and place in a large bowl or large ziptop bag. Add the garlic, 2 tablespoons oil, Italian seasoning, rosemary, lemon zest and juice (zest the lemon right over the bag or bowl), 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Toss the chicken (or seal the bag and turn to coat). Let sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour or cover and refrigerate for up to 12 hours.
• When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Thinly slice the onions and place in a 9x13 or similarly sized roasting pan or casserole dish.
• Drizzle the onions with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Toss to coat.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade and shake off any excess. Clear some spaces in the onions for the chicken, then nestle it in.
• Bake the chicken thighs for 15 minutes. Remove the pan and toss the onions to promote even cooking (I use a fork to stir them around a bit). Return to the oven and bake for 10 to 20 additional minutes (that's 25 to 35 minutes total), until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 155 to 160 degrees F (chicken is considered cooked at 165 degrees F, but its temperature will continue to rise as it rests). If you'd like to brown the chicken skin further, at the end of the cooking time, place the pan under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes (watch closely!).
• Remove the chicken to a serving plate. Cover and let rest 10 minutes. Stir the onions in the pan, spread them into an even layer, then return them to the oven to roast further while the chicken rests. The onions will become jammy and a few might look a little crispy.
• Remove the onions from the oven, then stir the vinegar into them. If desired, return the chicken to the pan and place under the broiler for crispy skin.
• Serve the chicken thighs warm, with onions spooned over the top. Sprinkle with fresh herbs.
