Oven Baked Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs

Ingredients

Scale

    • Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs

    • 2 pounds

    • Olive Oil

    • 2 tablespoons

    • Garlic Powder

    • 1 teaspoon

    • Onion Powder

    • 1 teaspoon

    • Paprika

    • 1 teaspoon

    • Dried Oregano

    • 1 teaspoon

    • Salt

    • 1 teaspoon

    • Black Pepper

    • ½ teaspoon

    •  

    • 2 tablespoons

    • Fresh Parsley (optional for garnish)

    • Chopped, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven
    I start by preheating my oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures the chicken cooks evenly and develops that nice roasted flavor.
  2. Prepare the Baking Sheet
    I line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. This helps prevent the chicken from sticking and makes washing up a breeze later.
  3. Season the Chicken Thighs
    In a large bowl, I add 2 pounds of boneless skinless chicken thighs. Then I drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the chicken. Next, I sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, 1 teaspoon of paprika, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, and season it with 1 teaspoon of salt and ½ teaspoon of black pepper. I use my hands to toss everything together until the chicken is evenly coated with the seasonings.
  4. Arrange the Chicken on the Baking Sheet
    After seasoning, I place the chicken thighs on the prepared baking sheet. I make sure to arrange them in a single layer, giving them a little space so they roast properly.
  5. Bake the Chicken
    I slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and have a beautiful golden-brown color.
  6. Broil for Extra Crispiness (Optional)
    If I want a crispier exterior, I switch on the broiler for the last 3 to 5 minutes of cooking. I keep a close eye on them to prevent burning. This step enhances the texture and adds a lovely char.
  7. Rest the Chicken
    Once the chicken is done, I take it out of the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes. Resting helps the juices redistribute, making each bite extra juicy.
