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!
Oven method works best, just broil for 5 mins to get that crispy edge.
Is this recipe still okay if the chicken has skin on?
πππππ
Why not wood πͺ΅? I hope you can respond. I
Can I add a bit of melted butter in the olive oil ?
I can't cook anything in a skillet in my apartment because it will set off the smoke alarm.
Soo yummy! I added the juice of 2 fresh oranges. Adds such a great zest! Thank you!

Even though I have been a vegetarian for 17 years, I am not opposed to tasting the food I cook for my meat eating friends and family. This recipe is delicious an easy!!ππ
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.
What temp did you have your stove top set at?
OMG those look so good. I'm making them SOON.
Super easy I used my cast iron pan!! β€β€π
I have made this before it is delicious and easy. Just now I accidentally tapped on the "dislike" thumbs down icon. I meant "thumbs up!"
Thank you for the recipe. I am planning to make it tomorrow night. Sounds yummy!
I was always mixing the oil and spices together then marinating chicken in it. Iβll try it this way!
love all your recipe! Taking the chicken 20 minutes prior and resting for 5 minute before serve is a game changer for me!! juicy and tender, yum! thank you β₯οΈ
So I finally got around to cooking this for Sunday dinner. Itβs a big hit my kids are picky eaters. You didnβt tell us it melts in your mouth. I get a lot of my recipes from you.
Made this today! So good! Thanks.
Dani mentions that the oven thighs are less crispy than the pan thighs. I think if you skip the parchment paper, or use aluminum foil instead, you will get a crispier result. The Parchment gets soaked in the chicken's juices and creates a moist environment around the chicken, like leaving a wet sponge in the oven as you cook. You'll never get a crispy underside with paper between your pan and your meat.
Also, I would lower the temps and increase the cook times. Thighs taste better if you give them 15-20 minutes to liquefy the internal fat and connective tissue.
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.
