Whip up my Oven Baked Salsa Chicken for a family-friendly meal. It's easy to prepare and full of delicious flavor!
Share:
Ingredients
- 6 bone-in chicken thighs
- salt and pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup salsa
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Line a large baking pan or baking dish with foil.
- Season chicken on both sides with salt and pepper.
- Drizzle the olive oil in the bottom of the pan or dish.
- Place chicken skin side down without crowding. Make sure to leave some space between pieces. The less crowded the chicken, the better it will crisp.
- Bake for approximately 30 minutes or until skin has browned and begun to crisp.
- Remove the pan from the oven and turn the chicken skin side up. Spoon enough salsa to cover (about 2-3 tablespoons) over each piece.
- Return to oven and cook for an additional 20 minutes or until the juices clear when pierced with a fork.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Chicken is fully cooked and safe to eat when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). For bone-in chicken thighs, I usually go slightly higher (175-185°F (79-85°C) for the most tender, juicy meat. That extra time allows the connective tissue to break down for better texture.
- Store any leftovers in a covered container for 2-3 days. Reheat in the oven for the best results.
