Crispy Oven Baked Chicken Thighs have the most tender and juicy meat, with perfectly crisp skin. This is such a family favorite, we canโt get enough of it!
I know it feels like boneless, skinless chicken breasts are the coolest thing since sliced bread. I mean, they are everywhere right now. But we canโt get enough of the tender, juicy dark meat that chicken thighs have to offer. So often chicken is overcooked and dry, and you never know what youโre going to get when given chicken at dinner. Rest assured, these crispy oven baked chicken thighs are everything youโve ever wanted out of a piece of chicken. It doesnโt get any better than this!
This recipe is so versatile, you can prepare any cut of chicken this way. Are you a drumsticks lover? Us too. Chicken breasts? Leave that bone in and skin on and youโll never see chicken breasts the same again. You can even cut up a whole chicken and use it all in this recipe! Pair it with your favorite sides, like a good mashed potato, grilled corn, and crusty baguette, and you have yourself a to-die-for meal! Donโt take our word for it though, get cooking!

Can I use any cut of chicken?
This recipe does not discriminate. You can use any and all of the chicken here, from wings to breasts. For juicy meat and crispy skin, keep the bone in and skin on.
-
What should I serve with Crispy Oven Baked Chicken Thighs?
Keep things old fashioned and serve with creamy mashed potatoes and your favorite vegetable on the side. Also, good bread never disappoints on the side of oven baked chicken.
-
Can I cook vegetables with the chicken in the same dish?
Single sheet pan recipes save SO much extra time and effort. So long as your dish is large enough, you can easily add cubed potatoes or any other vegetable. Just make sure to toss your veggies in oil first and check appropriate cooking times so you donโt under or over cook them.

thanks it was great
Can these be cooked in a slow cooker?
You can cook chicken thighs in a slow cooker but they definitely won’t be crispy!
My skin becomes quite dark around 25 minutes in but they donโt actually burn and I never need to broil them at the end. My husband loves this recipe and itโs in the rotation often. Your recipes are simple, yet delicious. Thank you!
I made this with boneless, skinless thighs and they came out wonderful. I served with homemade spanish rice and a simple salad. Delicious!
These are the best chicken thighs youโll ever eat , so very simple to prepare , and is why I enjoy following โ The Stay-At-Home-Chef. ๐
I absolutely love both of you and your recipes and your videos.
Thank you for making my kitchen life so much tastier and easier.
Love the recipe but my skin gets dark too fast. Iโve made this a few times but the skin gets too dark too fast. Rep is same and this last bat hi put on a lower rack. Maybe Iโll use tin foil to cover until almost done or ready to roil?
That’s always a great idea to tent it with foil. All ovens vary as well and it could be running just a tad hot? Are you using a convection oven by chance?
