Learn how to bake juicy, tender boneless skinless chicken thighs with a delicious caramelized finish. This simple recipe is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a healthy meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. This helps create a better sear.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. Place the chicken thighs in a bowl or on a plate. Pour the spice mixture over the chicken and toss to coat evenly.
  5. Arrange the seasoned chicken thighs in a single layer on a baking sheet. You can use parchment paper or foil for easier cleanup. Ensure they are not overcrowded.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear. The edges should be nicely caramelized.
  7. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper or dried herbs like thyme or rosemary to the spice mix.
  • If you want a deeper caramelization, you can broil the chicken for the last 1-2 minutes of cooking, watching it closely to prevent burning.
  • Serve with your favorite sides like roasted vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
  • This recipe is great for meal prep. Store cooked chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
