Baked Boneless Chicken Thighs
My family loves this chicken recipe, so I make it often! I love how easy and budget friendly it is. If we’re entertaining it still looks like a beautiful dish and the taste is incredible, but it’s a fraction of the price compared to chicken breast. They’re full of flavor too! By the way, if you go to the popular burrito bowl chain and get chicken, that’s chicken thighs, not chicken breast. I always make our baked chicken thighs boneless as bone-in chicken takes a bit longer to cook and it can be difficult for your guests to get the meat off the bone without using their hands.
How Long to Cook Boneless Chicken Thighs
This is really going to depend on how large or small your chicken thighs are. The larger they are the longer they’ll need to cook, smaller will cook up in less time. We usually cook for 20-25 minutes. Thighs cook up quickly at 425 degrees F, whereas a piece of meat or poultry with a bone will take a bit longer to cook. We’ve had a few emails asking us ” How Long to Cook bone in Chicken Thighs ?” and with bone-in chicken thighs, you’ll want to increase the cooking time to 35-40 minutes.
What Temperature to Cook Chicken Thighs Until
The USDA states that chicken breasts, drumsticks, thighs, and wings reach the safe minimum when the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F. So make sure your boneless chicken thighs internal temperature is 165 degrees F.
Tip for Baking Boneless Chicken Thighs
