Chicken in a Hurry
Description
This recipe uses skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs arranged in a baking dish and covered with chicken broth, French onion soup mix, brown sugar, and ketchup. The mixture combines savory, sweet, and tangy elements that develop during baking.
The chicken is covered with foil and baked at 375°F for 45 minutes to cook thoroughly and remain moist. Then the foil is removed to allow the skin to crisp and brown during an additional 10 to 15 minutes. The finished thighs have a balance of crispy skin and tender, flavorful meat beneath.
The dish is finished with fresh chopped parsley and works well served over rice or mashed potatoes, which absorb the pan juices and complement the rich flavors. It provides a simple baked chicken meal with a saucy glaze.
Different types of chicken can be used with the same baking time. Substitutes for ketchup like BBQ sauce or tomato paste are acceptable depending on taste preferences. Leftovers store for several days refrigerated and can be frozen for up to three months if placed in airtight containers.
Ingredients
- 4 pounds chicken thighs with skin and bones
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 ounce French onion soup mix (1 packet)
- ½ cup brown sugar packed
- ⅓ cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon parsley chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375℉.
- Arrange the chicken thighs in a large 9x13-inch baking dish or a roaster.
- Pour the chicken broth over the thighs. Sprinkle the onion soup mix and brown sugar evenly over each thigh then squeeze ketchup over each thigh. If you don't have a squeeze ketchup bottle, spoon about ½ tbsp of ketchup over each thigh.
- Cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes or until the skin is crispy and chicken is cooked through. Bone-in thighs should reach an internal temperature of 180 F degrees when they are done.
- Garnish with parsley and serve over rice or mashed potatoes.
Notes
- You can use any type of chicken, including breasts; keep the same oven temperature and time.
- Substitute ketchup with BBQ sauce, tomato paste, tomato sauce, or fresh tomatoes if preferred.
- Baking times may vary depending on the number of pieces and whether chicken is skinless or boneless.
- Store leftovers in airtight containers refrigerated for 3 to 5 days or freeze up to 3 months; thaw overnight before reheating.
