Cooking Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and place them in a large bowl.
- Add the olive oil and spices. Use your hands to coat the chicken.
- Arrange the seasoned thighs in a single layer on a rimmed baking dish, such as a 9 X 13-inch baking dish.
- Bake uncovered until the thighs are cooked through, juices run clear, and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the middle of the largest thigh reads 165ºF, about 30 minutes.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
If you buy them in pre-packaged trays at the supermarket, boneless, skinless chicken thighs come in various sizes. It's OK to bake them all together until the biggest ones are cooked through. The small ones will still be juicy and delicious! You can keep the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days and reheat gently. Once cool, they can be frozen for up to three months.
