Description
These Oven Baked Boneless Chicken Thighs are marinated in a simple Italian spice mixture, then bake to perfection in the oven for an easy weeknight meal ready in about an hour!
Ingredients
Scale
- 4-6 boneless skinless chicken thighs, trimmed and patted dry with paper towel
- 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
Instructions
- Into a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients.
- Using tongs or a spoon, toss to combine and coat each chicken thigh in marinade. Cover with plastic wrap and allow the chicken to marinate at room temperature for 25 to 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Add the chicken thighs into a casserole dish. Bake uncovered for 22-35 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. Optional: Turn oven onto high broil and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes.
- Tent with foil and allow to rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
- Serve and enjoy! You can serve with a few tablespoons of fresh parsley or parmesan cheese, if desired.
Notes
- The Chicken thighs will cook according to thickness. A range of 22-35 minutes is given, but it all depends on the thickness of the thighs. I highly recommend an instant read thermometer (linked below)
- I always broil the chicken at the end to get the exterior nice and crispy. Just don't cook it too long or the chicken will burn or dry out.
