In this easy recipe, a spicy rub and 30 minutes in the oven produce reliably juicy boneless skinless chicken thighs.

Ingredients

  • 2 lb. boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt (or 1/2 teaspoon sea salt)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.

  2. 2

    Place the chicken thighs in a large bowl. Add the olive oil and spices and use your hands to coat the chicken pieces.

  3. 3

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

  4. 4

    Bake until 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.
