Baked Chicken Thighs

Baked chicken thighs are another favorites of mine because it literally takes 1 hour to make. I’m always looking for an easy recipe for dinner because who has time? We’re all super busy with life. So this baked chicken thighs recipe is great because it is a time saver  and full of flavor.

You can serve this with with a salad, baked potatoes, baked sweet potatoes…I chose to serve mine with fried plantains.

If you love fried plantains but not so much the frying part, try my air fried plantains recipe.

Let’s get go over the ingredients needed

Ingredients:

• 6 Chicken thighs
• 1 tbsp Paprika
• 1 tbsp Dried thyme

• 1 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tsp Onion powder

Now let’s get started

Prepping the chicken ready

• For this recipe, I decided to leave the skin on. But remove the skin if you prefer.
• Wash the chicken with water and vinegar or clean the chicken with water and lime / lemon. I you prefer a video version on how I clean chicken, checkout my video on how to clean chicken. I use the same technique for all poultry.
• Pat dry the chicken with paper towels

Making the seasoning mix

• In a bowl, combine paprika, salt, black pepper, onion powder, dried thyme, Mrs. Dash chicken seasoning, Adobo seasoning and Oil

Seasoning the chicken

• Rub 2/3 of the seasoning on both sides of the chicken
• Spread the remaining 1/3 under the skin (very important)

Baking

• Preheat the oven at 400 Fahrenheit
• Lightly spray the baking dish with cooking spray
• Place the chicken thighs and lightly brush the top of the skin with oil.
• Bake for 50 minutes

After 50 minutes, the chicken is ready. Serve with a salad, potatoes, sweet potatoes or plantains like I did.
