Everyone is always asking us our favorite way to prepare chicken thighs and this recipe is always a favorite. Baked Chicken Thighs are consistently on my dinner menu. They require only a few ingredients and easy prep. We use a simple garlic dijon marinade with dried parsley and oregano to give the dish the perfect amount of flavor. They bake in the oven in less than 30 minutes and taste great when served with a simple side dish or salad.
How to make Oven Baked Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs
These baked chicken thighs require only a few steps.
First, combine ingredients for marinade – olive oil, Dijon Mustard, garlic, dried parsley, dried oregano, salt and pepper. We recommend marinating for at least one hour to let the flavors rest, but you can skip the time marinating and go directly to the next step.
Next, arrange the thighs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure that the bottom area of the thighs is facing down. Bake in the oven at 425 degrees Fahrenheit, flipping to the other side after about 12 minutes. Bake on the other side for 5 minutes and then flip over again to broil the top.
The recipe cook time and temperature does not work for bone-in thighs, so please only use this recipe for boneless chicken thighs. Bone-in chicken thighs take longer to cook.
How long to bake boneless chicken thighs?
Boneless chicken thighs should be cooked until an internal thermometer inserted into the center of the chicken reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Cook about 20 to 25 minutes for boneless thighs cooked at 425 degrees F or 25 to 30 minutes if cooked at 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
The flavors in this dish pair nicely with a variety of side dishes. Serve this chicken with a side of Roasted Broccoli and Cauliflower, Turmeric Coconut Rice, Roasted Beets, Roasted Potatoes and Broccoli or Roasted Potatoes and Carrots to create an easy meal any day of the week. Try a different side dish every time you make this chicken dinner to create a different meal every single time.
