Ingredients

4-6 chicken thighs
seasoned salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to the appropriate temperature based on the type of chicken thighs you’re using (see below).
  2. Place the chicken thighs in a 9×13-inch baking dish in a single layer. Sprinkle with seasoned salt, to taste.
  3. Bake for the following times, adjusting for the size of the thighs.
    For Bone-in, skin-on thighs: Bake at 400°F–425°F (204°C–218°C) for 30–45 minutes for smaller pieces or 40–50 minutes for larger ones.
    For Boneless, skinless thighs: Bake at 425°F (218°C) for 12–25 minutes, depending on the thickness.
  4. To check for doneness, insert an instant-read thermometer into the thickest part of the meat. The internal temperature should be at least 165°F (74°C).
  5. Let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.

Notes

For crispier skin, broil for 2–3 minutes at the end of baking. (Watch carefully! If you leave it too long, the tops will burn.)
