Instructions

Add all ingredients into a bowl or plastic bag and let marinate for 30 minutes to overnight.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Optional - brown chicken thighs on the outside in a pan over high heat until just golden brown. (If pre-browning, reduce total cook time by 5-8 minutes.)
Place chicken thighs on parchment paper, taking care to not space too close together.
Bake for 10 minutes, then flip and take temperature. Bake another 10 minutes and check the chicken's temperature.
As chicken is about 150 degrees, turn on the broiler to high and let crisp until 165 degrees internally (only about 5 minutes - take care to not burn the chicken! Watch it closely.)
Serve immediately.
Leftovers can be kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days - 3 months if frozen.
