Instructions

  1. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.

  • Skinless chicken thighs: Follow everything the same
  • Boneless chicken thighs: You can use the butter and spices and make this like our maple soy glazed chicken thighs!
  • Chicken breast: Boneless following the same instructions, but cooking time may vary depending upon the thickness of your chicken. Be sure to always check that the internal temperature is at least 165 degrees F.
