Description
These baked boneless skinless chicken thighs are juicy and crispy, marinated in a flavorful base and cooked entirely in the oven for a hands-off, tender result.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 Tbsp olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 pounds chicken thighs, skinless and boneless
- 2 tsp salt, or to taste
- ¼ tsp ground pepper, or to taste
- 1 ½ tsp italian seasoning
- ¾ tsp ground paprika
Instructions
- Step: In a large bowl, mix oil and minced garlic.
- Step: Arrange the chicken thighs on a baking dish and coat with the oil mixture on both sides.
- Step: Season both sides of the chicken with salt, pepper, italian seasoning, and paprika.
- Step: Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the ingredients to marinate.
- Step: Transfer the dish to the oven and bake at 400°F for 35-45 minutes. Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F before removing it from the oven.

Notes
Don’t skip the marinade; it helps tenderize the meat. Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure the thickest part reaches 165°F. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
