Our family loves these chicken thighs. I make them 2-3 times a month. They are so easy, so full of flavor and can be served with many different sides.
What You Need

- Chicken Spice Rub – I use my Easy Chicken Spice Rub, but I also love Primal Palate’s Meat & Potato Seasoning
- Baking Sheet with rack
Let’s Bake Chicken
- Preheat the oven to 400′
- Trim any excess skin off of the chicken and pat dry with a paper towel
- Add the chicken to a bowl with the oil and seasoning, toss to coat (I use my sugar-free chicken spice rub)
- Place the chicken on the rack over the baking sheet (skin side up) and bake for 45-60 minutes (time depends on the size of the thighs – internal temp should be 165’F)
- Once chicken is cooked through, brush with juices from the pan and enjoy!

No joke the BEST chicken I have ever had. So juicy so flavourful and the kids loved it! Will make this on repeat for
Years to come.
Question: what are the sprinkled shredded leaves in your picture?
Hey Sara!
Sorry if this is a stupid question but for the nutrition facts, is that the info for one chicken thigh or for all of the chicken total?
Thank you!
Hi, not a stupid question! One chicken thigh is a serving – so the nutrition facts are for one 🙂
These were the best chicken thighs I’ve ever made. I almost didn’t make them when I realized my thighs (from a local farmer) were skinless and boneless. Oh no! I proceeded anyway, and they were still amazing, so tender, delicious, with the sauce blending into my cauliflower rice.
I am so glad that you enjoyed the recipe, thank you for sharing 🙂
These turned out great! Super quick and easy too!
