Baked Boneless Chicken Thighs

40 min
6 servings

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

  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher 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°F. Place the thighs in a large bowl.

  2. 2

    Add the olive oil and spices. 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-inch baking dish. If there's some residual oil and spice mixture in the bowl, brush it on the chicken pieces.

  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.

  5. 5

    Serve immediately.
