Instructions

Add all of the ingredients for the baked chicken thighs to a zip lock bag. Seal the bag and give it a shake until the chicken is coated in the marinade.
Marinate the chicken for at least 20 minutes in the refrigerator, but ideally 2 to 12 hours.
When you’re ready to bake the chicken, preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Place chicken thighs, including the marinade, to a large casserole dish and arrange them in a single layer.
Bake the chicken for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees f. You can use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature for perfect thighs, as the cooking time will vary depending on the size of the thighs and their temperature going into the oven.
For crispy skin, turn your oven on the High Broil setting and broil for 5 to 8 minutes, until crispy. The high heat will help crisp up the fatty bits of the thighs.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let chicken rest for 10 minutes before serving.
