Baked Boneless Chicken Thighs

This is my go-to recipe for boneless chicken thighs! Simply apply a rub of olive oil and spices and bake them for 30 minutes.

Ingredients

  • boneless skinless chicken thighs
    2 lb
  • olive oil
    2 tbsp
  • diamond crystal kosher salt
    1 tsp
  • black pepper
    ¼ tsp
  • garlic powder
    1 tsp
  • onion powder
    1 tsp
  • smoked paprika

    not regular paprika

    1 tsp
  • ground cumin
    ½ tsp
  • cayenne pepper
    ¼ tsp

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place the chicken thighs in a large bowl.

    Step 1
  2. 2

    Add the olive oil and spices. Use your hands to coat the chicken.

    Step 2
  3. 3

    Arrange the seasoned thighs in a single layer on a rimmed baking dish, such as a 9 X 13-inch baking dish. If there's some residual oil and spice mixture in the bowl, brush it on the chicken pieces.

    Step 3
  4. 4

    Bake until the thighs are cooked through, juices run clear, and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the middle of the largest thigh reads 165ºF. In my oven, this takes about 30 minutes.

    Step 4
  5. 5

    Serve immediately.

About this Recipe

These simple baked boneless chicken thighs are juicy, flavorful, and ready in just 40 minutes. A savory spice rub of smoked paprika, garlic, cumin, and cayenne creates an aromatic crust while the olive oil keeps the meat incredibly tender. This go-to recipe works for meal prep, weeknight dinners, or sliced over salads. Chicken thighs are more forgiving than breasts and stay moist even if slightly overcooked.
