Description

This Quick 30 Minute Oven Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs recipe delivers juicy, flavorful chicken with a simple blend of spices and olive oil, perfect for a fast and easy dinner. Baked to golden perfection and optionally broiled for crispier edges, this dish is garnished with fresh parsley and lemon juice for a bright finish.

Ingredients

Chicken

  • 1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs

Seasoning and Marinade

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it is hot enough for quick and even baking.
  2. Pat Dry: Thoroughly pat the chicken thighs dry using paper towels to help the seasoning stick and promote browning.
  3. Add Olive Oil: Place the chicken thighs in a bowl and drizzle them with olive oil to keep the meat moist and help the spices adhere.
  4. Season: Sprinkle the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper evenly over the chicken for robust flavor.
  5. Add Lemon Juice and Toss: Pour the lemon juice over the chicken and toss everything together to coat the chicken evenly with the marinade.
  6. Arrange in Baking Dish: Place the chicken thighs in a single layer in a lightly greased baking dish to ensure even cooking.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and golden brown on top.
  8. Optional Broil: For crispier edges, broil the chicken for an additional 2 to 3 minutes while keeping a close eye to avoid burning.
  9. Rest: Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
  10. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired and serve the chicken warm for a delicious meal.

Notes

  • Ensure chicken thighs are dry before seasoning for better flavor absorption and crispiness.
  • Broiling at the end is optional but recommended for a crispier texture.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
  • Fresh parsley adds a nice color and fresh flavor but can be omitted if unavailable.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
