Ingredients

  • 4 lbs bone-in skin-on chicken thighs (8 large thighs)
  • 2 Tbsp avocado oil
  • ½ cup Teriyaki sauce store-bought or homemade
  • 3 cloves garlic minced

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add the chicken, avocado oil, teriyaki sauce (or coconut aminos) and garlic to a zip lock bag and seal. Note: if using coconut aminos instead of teriyaki sauce, or if your teriyaki sauce doesn't have a lot of salt in it, you may consider adding some sea salt too!) Move the contents of the bag around until everything is well-distributed and chicken is saturated with coconut aminos.
  2. Refrigerate at least one hour, up to 24 hours (I allow mine to marinate overnight).
  3. When you’re ready to cook, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. 
  4. Transfer the chicken (including the marinade) to a large casserole dish, leaving the chicken in a single layer.
  5. Bake for 40 minutes then increase the oven temperature to 420 degrees F and bake another 5 to 10 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
  6. Serve with your choice of side dishes, and enjoy!

Notes

  • When using boneless skinless chicken thighs, bake at 425 degrees for 12-18 minutes, then broil for 5-8 minutes, basting a couple of times throughout the baking process.
  • For boneless skinless chicken breasts, bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes, or until the breasts read 165 degrees F.
