- Using bone-in thighs:
- To use bone-in thighs, we recommend searing and then baking. Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees. Then add either 2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons olive oil to an oven safe pan (like a large cast iron) on medium-high and sear chicken thighs (skin side down first) for 2-3 minutes on each side. Mix sauce (without water) and then add to the oven-safe pan with the chicken. Bake for 30 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees. Baste chicken with sauce at least once while baking.
