Of all the chicken thighs recipes, you’ll love this version! Tender, juicy inside, slightly crisp outer layer that’s seasoned to perfection. These will quickly become a fam fav, prep is under 5 minutes, and they take about 45 minutes to cook. 

Ingredients

  • 6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, about 1.5 lbs
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic granules
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1-2 Tbsp Mexican Seasoning Blend
  • ¼ cup olive oil

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees
  • Line a 9 X 13 glass dish with parchment paper, bottom and all sides
  • Add the chicken thighs, spaced about 1 inch apart
  • Sprinkle the suggested seasonings liberally across all of the chicken thighs, onion, garlic, paprika, then Mexican Seasoning Blend
  • Drizzle the olive oil evenly across all chicken thighs
  • Bake for 45 minutes, times may vary based on your preference and your oven

Notes

I bake for longer than 45 mins. If the chicken thighs are still a tiny bit frozen, I add them to the oven as it’s preheating then I cook them for 60 mins total. I love a little crisp! So, it’s up to you to decide how you love your chicken. 

I get my Mexican Seasoning Blend from Whole Foods because it’s tasty and goes with a lot of dishes. Plus there are zero additives and sugar added. I don’t eat any seasonings with non-caking agents, preservatives, or added sugars. They have been shown to irritate the gut lining.
