Step 1
Preheat oven to 425°F. Line baking sheet with foil for less cleanup.
Step 2
Place chicken thighs on the baking sheet, sprinkle with salt and pepper (and/or seasoning of choice) and bake for 18-23 minutes, depending on the size of the thighs. Use a thermometer to test chicken in the thickest part. It should register at least 165°F when cooked.
Step 3
If you are baking skin-on chicken thighs and prefer crispier skin, bake them for 5 minutes longer. It’s difficult to overcook chicken thighs, so don’t worry if the internal temp is higher than 165°F!
Step 4
Remove chicken from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving, slicing or shredding.
