Paprika Baked Chicken Thighs Tips

  • Definitely, use the butter to marinate the chicken. It will be delicious. Butter and chicken taste amazing together.
  • Also, make sure to add onion slices between chicken thighs. However, if you will put on the top of the meat, the onion will burn.
  • In addition, you can use parchment paper, cookina or silpat for your baking sheet.

Chicken Thigh Faq’s

Do chicken thighs have bones? You can definitely buy boneless chicken thigh. However, they are usually skinless as well. Therefore, for this recipe I recommend chicken thighs with bones.

How long to bake chicken thighs? The temperature for this recipe is set at 350 F. Moreover, they were baked for 90 minutes. They came out juicy inside with crispy skin. However, after one hour you can check if the meat is cooked thoroughly. Every oven cooks differently. Also, you can use thermometer. Internal temperature should read 165 F.

Can you replace chicken thigh with drumstick? Yes of course.

    Unfortunately this got 3 thumbs down from my family, a very bland dish. Anyone who makes it I would double the spice other than the salt. Maybe some smoked paprika might give it a little more flavor. Did have crispy skin though.
