Notes
- Making it with skin-on chicken thighs? You can make this recipe with skin-on chicken thighs. Just keep in mind that the skin will add extra flavor and become crispy when baked.
- Let the Chicken Rest: After cooking, let your chicken thighs rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to be redistributed, making the chicken more juicy and tender.
- Coat the Chicken Evenly: When you rub the spice mix into the chicken, make sure it's evenly coated. This will guarantee that every bite is packed with flavor.
- Storing: After enjoying your delicious oven-baked chicken thighs, you may have some leftovers. Don't worry, you can store them in the fridge. Place the chicken thighs in an airtight container and they will keep for up to 3-4 days.
- Freezing: If you want to extend the shelf life of your cooked chicken thighs, you can freeze them. Place the chicken thighs in a freezer-safe container or bag and store them in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- Reheating: When you're ready to enjoy your frozen chicken thighs, simply thaw them overnight in the fridge. Once thawed, you can reheat them in the oven or on the pan until they are heated through.
